   Another issue I had was file associations.   
      
   Additionally, on some of my installations, especially when I had previous   
   version of pdox on computer,   
   the file associations became "messed up"   
   and I had to do some registry work to get them fixed.   
      
   Currently, when I search in the registry for "Corel.paradox.shell"   
   I find it a couple of times in the registry   
   under some kind of id like :   
   {D761C5B0-E1D9-11d0-B756-00A0C906BCC5}   
      
   There are3 subfolders on this machine I fixed   
    InProcServer32   
    ProgId   
    VersionIndependentProgId   
      
   InProcServer32 had 2 items   
    default was C:\Program Files\Paradox\Programs\Pdxse.dll   
    ThreadingModel was Apartment   
   ProgId was Corel.Paradox.Shell.11   
   Version was Corel.Paradox.Shell   
      
   Several months ago,   
   I had the problem that file associations were not working,   
   and was able to fix them.   
   I hunted down the ID in registry,   
   and one of the values was , what I call in scientific terms,   
   "gobbledeegook".   
   Simply removing the bad value from the node fixed the issue.   
      
   The above values are what I see now.   
      
   I am sorry that I did not document this fix more cleanly,   
   but if others are having the problem,   
   hopefully this will help point them to a solution,   
   and they can post back exactly what they did as permanent record of a fix.   
      
   Hope this helps someone else.
