aktrekker Member Posts: 222 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 05:44 PM Damn!!! Never mind. You mean script.dat and english.dat. OK, are you using easylife.bat or some other batch to create them? are the wrong files being copied? IP: Logged
Nigel1985 Member Posts: 630 From:England Registered: Feb 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 05:47 PM im not using anything to create them except the script.bat and normally they are those windows lookin files that when you click on them it opens a menu and asks what you want to open it with, and now they look like a file with the notepad logo on it IP: Logged

psiko Member Posts: 454 From:Rome Registered: Mar 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 06:06 PM you have simply associated them to the note pad. Go to browse the files and from the MENU chose: visualize, then option. then "type of files" (I do not have an english version of Win, so try to understand) Find the DAT extension and chose REMOVE, in order it is NOT associated anymore to the notepad, or BETTER, simply do this: click on MODIFY (or EDIT) then MODIFY again (or edit) and remove the line where it is said which program to load when you double-click on a DAT file. ------------------ | |--->> psiko <<---| | DOWNLOAD the TECHNOEGYPTIANS PORTAL http://tombraider.videogame.it/giochi/trle/livelli/tep.zip LAST UPDATE on june 18th.

aktrekker Member Posts: 222 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-19-2001 06:49 PM OK, I get it. The notepad icon displays next to the file. On Win9x, go into My Computer. On the menu, select View->Folder Options. Click the File Types tab. Scroll down until you find a line that should say something like DAT file. Just hilight it and click the Remove button. IP: Logged
