Pardon if I missed any important content of this thread... Here is what I know, or think I know based on impirical evidence, about .we files:
They are what connects set files and scripts to applications. They are always named after the application to which they apply. I believe the name of a .we file for an application must be the same as that application's file name, but with a .we extension instead of a .exe extension. I don't know if a .we file is ever named after a .dll file though. A .we file can contain references to scripts and set files, perhaps more. When an application loads, all refefiles referenced in the application's .we file are also loaded. In the case of scripts, they are run. When an application closes, the files referenced by its .we file are also unloaded. Notice that this loading and unloading is tied to when the application is running, not to when it is in focus. .we files are updated when you add a set file or a script file association to an application. They are also updated and/or created when you run a .wepm file, because that also creates associations for scripts and/or set files. I don't know of any occasion when one should include a .we file in a .wepm file, nor do I know what would happen if you do, since the .wepm file's running will itself alter any .we file for which it updates application associations. All, feel free to update and/or correct me here. This is what I believe to be true about these files.

I thought Rick's question was more along the lines of how are they created, and what information is stored in them, etc. Chip -----Original Message----- From: net bat [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2011 6:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Where Does .we file get created? they are saved in the users acount in appdata\roaming\gwmicro\window eyes\users\default folder. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chip Orange" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2011 3:18 PM Subject: RE: Where Does .we file get created? > Sorry to say Rick, but there appears to be no documentation that I > could find anyway, in the WE manual on whatever .we files are. > > Chip > > > > _____ > > From: RicksPlace [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 9:36 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Where Does .we file get created? > > > Hi Guys: My app is NotePad2011.vbs and xml.
