Compiler problem

Hi all,

I've just started to learn C++. I downloaded Devcpp4 from bloodshed to my home pc and have been using it for the last few weeks without difficulty. I tried to download it today to my work pc so that I could study during breaks but I'm having the following problem.
When I compile and execute a program the cpp file is being saved in notepad. I can open it as an existing project from the compiler but this doesn't happen on my home pc. At home the cpp file is opened automatically by the compiler when the file icon is clicked. Any ideas what might be causing this? I was wondering if there might be a difficulty with the download? I don't have admin rights for my work pc.
I went to settings - control panel - folder options - file type and changed the cpp to be opened with the Dev4, but then it wouldn't open at all so I had to restore it to open with notepad. Anybody any ideas. Thanks in advance.

All I could suggest is that your work does not allow you to modify file associations.....

I assume it works if you open Dev and then open a .cpp file through the file menu?

Yes I think the IT dept may have something to do with it. I was surprised that I was able to download the software to begin with. This was my first post, thanks a lot for the prompt reply
