Thanks Sjoerd for the above response. I am familiar with the above
but don't see how this tells the system where to find mc.exe. In the
situation I described, the MetaCard Player (mc.exe + mctools.mc) is
never actually "installed" on the student workstations, but run
directly from a location on a shared fileserver. So the student
workstation will not have any record of which *.exe to run when a
*.mc file is double-clicked, nor will it know what icon to display
for *.mc files.
So I need a means of setting up the student workstation such that
*.mc files are opened and run using something like
"\\learn\chemcourse\resources\metacard\mc.exe" where "\\learn" is a
shared fileserver location. Also, how would I ensure the *.mc files
had the right icon (I'm happy for them to be the default MetaCard
document icon).
Also, will the above registry setting be for all users of the
workstation of just the individual user logged in at the time (it is
an NT 4 workstation with user profiles)? It is important that such
settings are student profile specific, since only certain courses
will be using MetaCard.
Cheers
Peter
