Is it possible to associate an application with a particular file type; e.g. open up .c, .cpp and .h files with Nedit when you double-click them from the File Browser.
On Windows its easy, but on a Solaris platform, I cannot find where it would be done, if at all!
Many thanks,
Andy.

Hi Andy!
I've never really used Solaris, but from my experience with Linux and other Unixes, I'd say you have to set the Desktop environment to do that somehow. Now, there are two standard Desktop Environments for Solaris: JDE and CDE.
If you're using JDE, which is built upon Gnome, the Instructions here, section "Mime-types & Associations", should do the job.
I can't find anything on how to achieve this with CDE, so maybe someone with more Solaris experience can help, if it doesn't work with my JDE suggestion.
Greetings,
Nepomuk

When I installed Python 2.5 (on Windows XP) I left 2.4 in place "just
in case". Today I decided to remove it. However after doing so (from
the control panel) I found that Windows no longer knows about the
Python file types and associations. Is this behavior expected, or was
there something wrong with my installation? Is there a way to restore
the file associations, short of reinstalling 2.5 or manually editing
them?

Hi guys,
Who knows how to restore VS 2k5 file associations, I've clicked Tools->General->"Restore File Associations" button but it doesn't work at all. I know Repair the whole product could fix it, but it costs too much time. So, if anyone could fix this issue please tell me asap.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I have a program wherein I want one behavior when a file is set as executable
and a different behavior if it is not. Is there a simple way to determine
whether a given named file is executable that does not resort to all the
lowlevel ugliness of os.stat() AND that is portable across Win32 and *nix?
Thanks,

Recently, I found that I had associated a file type to notepad by mistake. This file type (let's just say, it has the extension .xyz) wasn't supposed to be opened by notepad - actually, it wasn't supposed to be opened by anything at all. However, when I tried to remove the file type association like I could in previous versions of Windows, I found that I was meeting a dead end. I could change the program, no problem at all, but removing it...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
