I'm not sure what I've done to mess up the association, and it's not
immediately obvious chasing through the registry what the correct settings
should be.I've also tried right-click, Open with... and associating the .dproj with
CodeGear.... but that doesn't work either. To be quite precise, after I
originally installed D2007 over a year ago, I did alter the .dproj file so
that I could right-click Open with, Notepad, and that still works OK, and
I made Notepad the default application, which does /not/ work any more.As far as I know, I haven't altered anything myself to stop this working,
but I may have added other files to have a right-click, open with Notepad
entry.What's the best was to fix this?Thanks,
David

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.dproj\OpenWithList\orjv16 PowerTools - made with Delphi (love this tool)
jv16 PowerTools open Registry Finder. When you see what you're looking for in the listview right-click and select "Open in RegEdit"
Thanks, Pieter.Yes, those seem OK to me, with the exception that my Program Files are on
drive E: and not drive C: BDS.DProjFile also has a DWORD EditFlags set to
0. Unsure of the significance of that.One further clue - if I open Delphi 2007 "by hand", and then use the
right-click Open With Codegear Launcher....., the open instance of Delphi
2007 will load the project I right-clicked. It's as if the "launch" bit
doesn't work.Cheers,

Well, it happened that I looked with Task Manager at the processes I had,
and I found one bds.exe, and many bdslauncher.exe. Not sure why the one
bds.exe was left, but it must not have been responding to bdslauncher
requests. I tried killing a couple of bdslauncher.exe, and then (just
because it was higher in the list), killing the bds.exe. As soon as the
bds.exe was killed, all the other bdslauncher.exe processes disappeared by
themselves.Now I can right-click a .DPROJ and either open it in Notepad, or in Delphi
studio, just as I wish.It appears to have been the stuck bds.exe which was the problem. If there
is a log somewhere which might identify why it got stuck I would be happy
to submit it.I'm toying with the April update (although Check for Updates says there
are no updates?), but I see reports of problems from one or two
people.....My thanks to all who helped.Cheers,
David
