Why? Oh why? Oh why? — Nokia 9210 and 9290 — All About Symbian Forum Archive

Recently (cos I'm lazy after reformating my sole Windoze PC and haven't installed Nokia software) I've been using the IR interface a lot to copy files to my 9210 and for some odd reason a text file with the file extension .txt gets associated with the web browser..... Why does it do this, it's very annoying as it's just a plain text file of a short story I've been working on so I can work on it in word when not at home. Too bored and annoyed to do anything about it at the time I simply installed YEdit to carry on working on it.

To the point: Does anyone know of a way to change the application a file is associated with so that the relevant app opens it?

Isn't there a program called OpenWith or something from PSI. It is available as trialware, so assuming you don't want to but it, perhaps you can just use it to change the settings to what you want and then remove it.
Just a thought.

Also, what program would you associate with it ? The browser is the only program that can read it as far as I know. I don't think you can open a plain text file with word. Actually, I can't check any of this stuff anymore since I sold the 9210 some weeks ago.
