[MWForum]"opening projects with XP SP2" problem

[Shawn Jesty]

Hi Wendi,

as you mentioned, we will be providing a fix for the "open project 
with XP SP2" problem.  In the meantime, the following instructions 
will repair the problem.

Please note, this if for users running XP (home or pro) who have 
installed SP2.  There is also a slim chance in some cases that it 
won't work for you, although you won't do any damage to your Windows 
registry.

1. Open regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MWExFile\shel\open\command
3. Edit the default value by removing a space between the path to exe and
the parameter. For example, if the default value is:

"C:\Program Files\LCSI\MicroWorlds EX\MicroWorlds EX.exe" "%1"

Then you need to replace it with:

"C:\Program Files\LCSI\MicroWorlds EX\MicroWorlds EX.exe""%1"

Note missing space between two quotes.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for MWFile, MWProCompressed, MWExTurtle. In other
words, fix the default value of the following keys as well:
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MWFile\shel\open\command
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MWProCompressed\shel\open\command
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MWExTurtle\shel\open\command


I unfortunately, haven't yet had any luck recreating your button or 
merging issues.  Keep sending me any relevant information, it's 
always a big help.
