[texhax] Windows files questions - getting right things to happen with file extensions

[David C. Walden]

Some thoughts on Q1 (although I have never used Win 2000).
Open Win Explorer on some directory.  Click on Folder Options
under the Tools menu.   Click the File Types tab.
Look in the list of registered extensions to see if
.tex is already there.  I found it at the top of my list,
not alphabetically.  If so, click Change.
If not, click New and fill in .tex.  In either
case, you have to know the location of the .exe file
for WinEdt, e.g., something like
c:/Program Files/WinTeam/WinEdt/winedt.exe
