Opening program files
 

I recently downloaded a program file and it was in Limewire Document format. When I double clicked it, it only launched Limewire.

How can I open such a file?

just drag it from the "Shared" folder onto the application you want to use, or better yet, use the File Exchange Control panel in OS 9 to link the extension to the application. Rebuilding desktop can help too.

Also, sometimes running a mystery file through Stuffit Expander will clean it up into something usable ---- ya never know how some people encode things to cut down on bandwidth (zip, SDA, etc).

Virus checker pass wouldn't hurt either ---
