On my Win95/IE 4.01 installation, this technique does, indeed,
work. And yes, it does depend on whether a given file type is
already associated with an application. This appears to have been
the Stephen's original problem--on an initial choice for a file
[Open with], the Stephen chose *without* un-checking the "Always
use this application to open this type of file" and ran into
problems. Mr. Cormier's tip (below) should work in this
situation. On my machine the open with command is the fourth line
down (after "Open", "Print", "New"), so it's possible to escape
one's notice. [Apologies for the length, however; I've included
the problem and the tip for clarity.]
