Hi Catherine, I would suggest changing the file associations from the Windows Desktop (Open any folder, select 'View' -> 'Folder Options...', choose the tab called 'File Types', then edit the association so that, for example, a .gif is opened by Paint instead of Internet Explorer).
I'm not sure whether MapInfo has a facility to 'insist' that a particular file be opened by a particular application (usually it will simply open with the default program). If it can, this would surely have to be called from a MapBasic routine.
