   You have already received an answer to your question, but I'm curious... Is   
   this program only going to be used on your own computers exclusively? I ask   
   because if your program is to be used by others, I would not want to be one   
   of those users. If I have already set up an association for Rich Text Files   
   to be read in my favorite Rich Text File editor/viewer, why do you think I   
   would want your program to automatically change that to WordPad for me? I   
   know I wouldn't want it to.
