Everyone should read JaMi's original post carefully - he dbl clicked a SCH file (or was it a PCB file). This was an exported backup from the P99SE DDB file (autobackup). On my installation dbl clicking a DDB opens it in P99SE. Dbl clicking a SCH file opens DXP. Remember DXP native files are the PCB and SCH file not DDB's. DXP by default uses the much nicer PcbDoc and SchDoc extensions but obviously claims sch and presumably PCB and maybe even LIB extensions. I do not mind the associations as they are but would prefer that the installer gave me the option to selectively allow or disallow the association for each extension type.
