Re: st: Question RE: having Stata 9 and 10 both installed,and opening files by default with Stata 9 (not 10)

[Arun Rajamohan <arajamoh@uwo.ca>]

I believe this is a windows question. Program association for specific  
files by extension can be changed when you right click/select the file  
and get to the properties. Change the program to open with to Stata  
9.0 by browsing to the correct stata.9 exe file. And that should be it.

You should be also be able to right click and select 'Open With' and  
select a program to open the file. Usually the previous procedure of  
associating a program with the extension by selecting properties will  
work fine all the time. But its permanency and ability to open other  
files of the same extension is iffy.... after all it is windows.. Hope  
it helps.
