So, can you now open the .NFO file or not?
The reason the list of "Other Programs" to choose from is empty at this point is because there are no current programs associated with the file extention .NFO.
So assign a program for that extention.
Why note use Notepad? C:\windows\notepad.exe. Check the box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." Finished.
Yes, I can open the .nfo file now.
What I don't get is if 7 is supposed to be better than XP, easier than XP, as they say "You PC simplified"... why
would the "Other Programs" list be empty? If I click "open with..." and then "choose program" with XP it lists every friggin .exe on my computer, giving me plenty of "Other Programs" to choose from (to which I've always chosen Wordpad, I don't know why). How does 7 not offering
anything make it better... or easier? Simpler I get... you can't do it, simple. How are you supposed to associate a program to the extension if you don't have any programs to choose from? Why would a bunch of other program magically appear on the list after I manually picked one that was already
on the invisible list? What are people who are buying their first computer supposed to do here? It isn't like Windows 7 would help them in any way. Windows 7 is the most convoluted, a$$-backwards OS they could have cobbled together. It was designed to
not let you do anything with your computer. It was built for people to go to Facebook, and that's it. And people tell me this is the greatest OS ever made, and if I don't like it I'm just a Luddite.
Hey, I hear Ford just made a car with octagon shaped wheels, it get 4 mpg and the radio only gets one station that only comes in half the time but it's the bluest blue I've ever seen so that makes it better and if you don't buy one and think it's the best thing ever you're just too stupid to figure out that this is progress you Luddite.
