Many thanks, Frank (and to everybody who chimed in with suggestions).
Setting Tools~Options~File locations~Startup program to Start.PRG in the
VFP9.EXE folder did the trick!
And, of course, thanks to Ed without whom all this help would not be
available.

Hi Frank
I did find the registry setting where %1 picks up the PJX path and
name. I tried adding -cConfig.FPW to the registry entry but it didn't
work. BTW Config.FPW is present in the VFP9.EXE folder and in the PJX
folder (just to be sure ...)
Yes, sort of. CD (without the ?) takes an opt
Thanks for that suggestion Jeff.
I'm working on something else right now but will look into it tomorrow

OK, I think the file association of PJX with VFP9.exe has various
parameters you can set, but I don't know if that will do what you want.
You can find these settings somewhere in the registry if you want to dig
into it.
My setup is that I have a startup program configured (Tools | options |

This may not be exactly what you are looking for Paul and I am no expert
but you might look into creating a "Send To" shortcut. I think with a
little trial and error you can get that doing what you want. Here is an
article, but if it doesn't get you where you want I'd keep looking on this

Hi Frank
Thanks for your reply. I have tried as you suggest (Config.FPW and
Startup.PRG in the VFP9.EXE folder) but that still does not work.
Double-clicking on the PKX opens the project and CD in the command
window shows the current folder as the project's folder)

Paul,
I think the issue you are seeing is that when you double click on the
PJX, the VFP9.exe runs, but it runs with the default/start in folder
being the folder where vfp9.exe sits. If you set up your config in that
folder then you should get what you want, once you can make it generic

Thanks Jan
You say that double-clicking on a PJX works as usually but what are the
commands in your Start.PRG and do they get executed (in addition to the
project being opened).

Hi Richard
Many thanks for your reply. I haven't used Environment Manager much but
that's definitely an approach to consider. I really don't want to
create shortcuts for PJXs that I only open rarely on an ad hoc basis (as
opposed to those that I am actively working on).
It's still frustrati
My config.fpw and start.prg for "command=do start" are placed in VFP
folder. Doubleclicking any PJX works for me as usualy.

I never open VFP by using Explorer so hard to say what’s happening. I’d check
the help for the precedence on how config.fpw gets picked up but otherwise you
can create shortcuts to your PJXs and force a specific file by using the -c
switch.
