Gah, sometimes you have to work one step at a time.

Gah, sometimes you have to work one step at a time. I was trying to read data files with no extension under Windows 7. Because I'd installed a free 3D editor called Form Z 8 Free a while ago (can be found at http://www.formz.com/products/formzfree.html), that program for some reason was assigned as the DEFAULT for any file with no extension!!! Argh, very annoying. Any way I found this page was useful in fixing that. I ran the code (with my local info) under ConEmu and fixed this stupid thing! Actually I associated them with the free version a utility called Universal Viewer - see http://www.uvviewsoft.com/uviewer/. Much more what I'd prefer.
