Hello. Using Win XP Pro and IE 6.0. I have changed the Application which
opens the .avi files to PaintShopPro's Animation Shop. But the Icon that is
shown there is the Icon of Windows Media Player. So when I click on an .avi
file, it doesn't open in the Animation Shop like it is supposed to, it opens
in Win Media Player which is usless as I have created these avis in
stillframe mode and Media Player runs all the frames by in a few seconds, so
fast that you cannot make out the content. Animation Shop (Or Apple's
QuickTime Player for that matter) let you advance one stillframe at a time
using the left and right arrow keys. How can I change the Icon from Windows
Media Player to the Icon for Animation Shop? Thanks in advance, JIm
Richards.

Hello. I figured out that I had to click on the 'Advanced' button and then
change BOTH the 'Open' and 'Play' to the Animation Shop. I was able to
change the Icon here also. Now my avi files open and play in the Animation
Shop just like I want them to. Have a good day. Jim Richards
