<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a user who we need to have it default to open Excel when she opens .txt files.<br />
I have gone in and changed it to use Excel through Set Associations in Default Programs but once I close Excel and try to open the .txt file again it opens in Notepad even though it still says Excel in the Set Associations screen for that file type.<br />
It lets me change it to Word or Wordpad, but not Excel.<br />
It works fine on my PC as well as other user PCs.<br />
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong or a different way to approach this?
