Ok, I have finnally switched to Windows 7 ultimate x64 from XP pro. I admit, its not so bad, and I kinda like it, but I still am having some minor issues; 1) I can't seem to change the 'Right click>Edit" program. I have Google-ed it, and found some stuff about Default program, but the option for RDP file extension is not there, and the windows don't match. The 2 file edits I would like to change would be BMP >edit with paint, and RDP> edit with notepad. NOTE: this is about the EDIT option, NOT the OPEN option 2) I like the new paint ok, but now when I draw a line, it selects the line after I release the mouse, instead of letting me click and make a new line (I draw a line, and click, and it grabs the end of the line and reshapes it, ghaaa). Is there a way to change this?blankmonkey

1) Thank you for your reply, but the referanced link shows only how to manipulate 3rd party app's, not the default "Edit" option. 2) Ty again, I suspected that I could not change it, dang :(blankmonkey

OK, I have fixed this for anyone who comes behind. It is a reg hack, so all disclaimers apply. I finally searched the entire registry for mstsc.exe and found what I was looking for; Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RDP.file\shell\Edit\command change the (Default) from mstsc.exe -edit "%1" To notepad.exe "%1"blankmonkey
