Unable to associate .not file with Notation 4 (Win7)
I accidentally associated .not files to the wrong program in the "default programs" segment of the Start Menu (Win 7). When i went to fix it, Win 7 allows me to browse for Notation 4 but will not add it as a default program. Is this just me, Win 7, or Notation 4?

Hi Tim,
In Windows 7 my personal favorite way to do file associations is:
Hope this helps. If not, let me know what steps you're using and I'll give it a whirl. ttfn, Sherry

Re: Unable to associate .not file with Notation 4 (Win7)
Therein lies the rub... I'm trying both of your preferred steps but (1) Notation 4 doesn't appear in the list Win 7 offers. nor does Notation 3! wqhich is still on the machine. When I try via the right-click, and run through that whole process, Windows does everything EXCEPT take any notice of Notation 4.
I think it's got to be a system glitch on my abused computer then, if the standard paths you've described are working for you, so I guess I'd better try a reinstall (sigh). Tim |

Re: Unable to associate .not file with Notation 4 (Win7)
Okay. A system glitch it is, which I haven't yet fixed. Tried a reinstall of Composer 4, Win7 will still not associate .not with it. Nor will it associate with Composer 3! So my machine is doing a dummy spit (there's an issue with win7 on it, but I really don't want to upgrade or even reload win7, because of the hours of reinstallation needed....) (at least not yet. I'll wait till I'm stuck in quarantine again...)

Re: Unable to associate .not file with Notation 4 (Win7)
Hi Tim,
It's not just your machine - it's got to be something in Windows 7. I went and tried the Start button\Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations path, and could not get it to associate Composer 4. AND after doing that path, now it won't let me do the "favorite" path either! Not even after a hard reboot! Going to do a little research here.... ttfn, Sherry

Re: Unable to associate .not file with Notation 4 (Win7)
Hi Tim,
Ok, I think I found a solution. If you're comfortable working in the Registry of your machine, please see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ion-in-windows I found that this setting was incorrectly set. After I corrected the path, the File Association works as it should. (I'm still puzzled why it worked correctly the first time when I did the screen shots for my first response, but who knows in Windows World...) Let me know if this does/n't help. ttfn, Sherry
