    jarcher I can't handle a title

    I am still having problems with file assoc.
    i fixed my .exe and my shortcuts but i dont know how

    when you use search and change it from <all files and folders> to whatever you want from the drop down box. I would say 75% of my options are gone (from the dropdown)
    what happened?
