It's possible to associate multiple applications with a single file extension.For example, to associate the .DOC extension with Word for Windows and also WordPad, open any folder window. Choose View > Folder Options > File Types. In the Registered File Types box, find and select the Microsoft Word Document entry. Click the Edit button, and then the New button. In the Action box, type Open with WordPad. In the "Application Used to Perform Action" box, type the following line including the quotation marks and click OK:
"c:\program files\accessories\wordpad.exe" "%1"
(If you run into trouble, use Find Files and Folders to locatethe path of WordPad on your PC and adjust this line.)From now on, when you double click any .DOC file, it will launch Microsoft Word. But you can also right-click it and choose "Open with WordPad" on the context.You can use the same steps many other file extensions with two or more programs. Try it with .ZIP or .TXT, for instance
