Yes I understand that the "open" in Windows is really just a label for some action and is easily changed to some other name. It was the functionality that I was most interested in - i.e. I'm in Explorer and can see a .ijs file - how do I get it to open in J without loading it. Changing the action labels, to give a more accurate description of what the action is going to do, is just an added bonus! As Oleg suggested, I've started a Guide page on the wiki to document how to do this. http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/Auto_Open ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
