What happened and can it be fixed?

Guys,
it's not a problem on the BobCAD software side, it's Windows.....
Did you know that you can use the BobCAD icon as logo for your cad, dxf, tap & text files instead of the traditional Windows folder style?
I use the blue icon for cad & dxf drawings and the gray for my tap files. It makes it easy to search for cad and tap files that goes together...

Klox and CNCdude the problem is when I go to do the open with change and the window opens to show all the possible programs to open with the bobcad icon is not there. It is a windows type icon with the first part of moe of my program files names as a program to open the cad files with. I went to delete the thing and can't delete it because I can't find it. The only place it shows up is in the opens with window and I can't delete it from there. Looks like I am going to have to reload the program. If so will I lose my drawings and will I have to call and get another # from Bobcad?

Did you click Choose Program then BROWSE in the Open With dialog? From there navigate to where you have Bobcad installed, and select the exectuable.

Reked, I did that and my Bobcad doesn't show up. My filename shows up as the open with and as one of the options to open with.

ps did you get your handle from riding motorcycles?

It can be fixed!!! You have to talk to it just right and then lay a 6# hammer up the side of the cpu's head!!

Ok I didn't fix it that way. Glen from Bobcad tech support emailed me a patch and even that didn't work. I went to the c drive and began the deletion of every file I could find that was attacted to the bobcad folder. I then reloaded v17 and it works great. It works without mycad drawings, my dxf drawings and my tap files but it works.

Now, a little advise from the zone. How do you go about wording an email to Microsoft or better yet a certtified letter to Bill Gates. What would be the chance he would read it?

ps I do have everything backed up and in the safty deposit box but this is still a hassel that ought never to happened!!
