Windows 98 allows you to associate a file extension with multiple applications Windows 98 allows you to associate a file extension with multiple applications. Files of a specific extension are usually associated with a single application, but now, you will have the ability to select which application you want to use to open that particular file with. Follow the listed instructions: 1 - Double-click My Computer, select Options from the View menu and click on the File Types tab. 2 - Look in the Registered File Types list for the file type that you'd like to open in other applications. For example, you may want to open a file type of .TXT with MS Word, Notepad, or Word Perfect. 3 - Click on Edit, then New. Type something like "Open in [your application]" in the Action field. 4 - Click on the Browse button to find the application. 5 - Select the application's .EXE file and click OK. 6 - Click Close, then Close again. Now when you right click on a file of that extension (.TXT in our example) you'll see a drop down menu that lists all the "Open With" options you established in the steps above.
