File associations/Icons Windows 7

[Mike Stillingfleet]

Hi David,

Ok that worked :-) Thank you very much. I have no idea why this
happened especially as others are reporting that this is not happening
to them. Anyway job done. I was getting very confused with several open
items all saying they were GNUCASH when they weren't.

Kind Regards

Mike

Seems like you may have told your system that gnucash was the default
program to open txt files with - gnucash doesn't do this on it's own.
To fix it open windows explorer and right click on a .txt file then
select "open with" and then "choose default program" - if your system
gives you options that include Notepad, click on Notepad otherwise you
may have to navigate to where Notepad.exe is installed and select it
manually.  Mines in C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe on Win 8.1 so
probably Win 7 is the same.

Cheers Dave H.

  GnuCash is not doing this on my system. So I wonder why you get this
  experience ?
  And just to be sure we are interpreting your words both the same,
  can
  send a screenshot of the changed icons ?

  Good question. And the answer will depend on understanding what
  exactly
  you are experiencing. As said I have never heard of this before.
