David, to re-associate *.sch with protel, you have to assign it to open with Client99SE.exe not schematic.exe. A quick way to do this (in windows95/98/ME) is find a .sch file hold down the shift key, right click on the icon and select 'open with'. After selecting Client99SE.exe (you may have to browse for it, try, "C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\Client99SE.exe"), make sure the 'always use this program...' check box is selected before proceeding.
