OPEN ANY NEW DOCUMENT FROM YOUR DESKTOP(Associate files with programs)
Yes, we can teach you how to edit your Windows registry in order to add any new document to your desktop - and in a future tip, we will!
But the easiest way to add any new document to your desktop, whether or not it is listed in your NEW menu is to simply: 1) Right click on your desktop and choose NEW. 2) Choose TEXT document (assuming it is listed there, and associated with Notepad or the equivalent). Otherwise, choose any kind of document included in your NEW menu. 3) Retype the name by clicking inside the name box and typing OR by right clicking the icon, selecting RENAME, the typing. Type in a document name, and the extension for the kind of document you wish to open (e.g. .doc for Microsoft Word). NOTE: The above tip assumes that you have associated this document with a particular program on your computer. If not: 1) In MY COMPUTER, select view, options, then the FILE TYPES tab. 2) Choose NEW TYPE. 3) In the DESCRIPTION box, type a name for the kind of document or file you are associating (e.g. Adobe Acrobat file) 4) In the ASSOCIATED EXTENSION field, type the extension of the kind of file in question (e.g. pdf). 5) Below the ACTIONS field, choose NEW. 6) Type OPEN (in capitals). 7) Using the BROWSE button, browse to find the executable program (usually ending with .exe, in the primary directory for the program) of the software which will open this particular file type. Select it. 8) Click ok or close until you've exited all your open screens. 9) Now your document type is associated. When you type in the extension on a file you create from the desktop and then double click on the icon, Windows will open its program.
