Default two program shortcuts open file with different

thanks--you got the bulk of my questions, can I fine tune these with your help:

1.In the example i gave control panel---programs---default programs--set
assortments are you able to link these so that we get a shortcut symol on
"set assortment" on the dek top, and by clicking that we come stright to set
assortments, rather than going seprately through the other three.
There is a shortcut wizard this sseems to work well with files, but not
programs/applications?
Why do you emphasize "windows" shortcuts?

2. I understand that i may not have an extension which is compatible. so i
go to set assortments and change that to something that the table says is
available on the computer--but there are many of these "compatible" ones
also, do i have to go through each one by one to see which one opens the
attachment? what would be the advantage of saving on a hard drive because I
still have to search for a compatible application?

You have already helped me, so after the above i do not plan to bother you
again and again.

Thanks, again

1. can a shortcut be created with programs like it can for files
e.g. can controlpanel---programs--- default programs---set
assortmnts have a shortcut? set assortments itself does not allow an
immediate shortcut


You can create a Windows shortcut to any file or executable application.

2. sometimes an incoming e-mail has an attachment---when you try to
open it, you get a comment that this file cannot be opened with the
present extention, please select another one from the list that is
supported does this mean that we have to try the supported ones one
by one to see which one works?


It means that you do not have an application associated with the file
extension of the attachment. Save the attachment to the hard drive and open
it from within a compatible application.

Thank you


You are welcome
