Answer Line: Move Your Old Drivers to a New Computer

Move your drivers to a new system; make a hub-free network for two PCs.

By Lincoln Spector, PCW Print   

Easier Multiple Associations

After reading " One File Type, Two Associations" ( Answer Line, December 2000), Jonathan Schwartz of Burlington, Connecticut, sent us another way to launch one type of file with more than one application: the SendTo folder. Put shortcuts to alternate programs into your C:\Windows\SendTo folder (copy them from the Start menu). The file will still load with the application associated with its file type when you double-click it, but now you can right-click it and select Send To to open it with some other program.
