Maybe that helps.

hi Danasan,

the above procedure leads to the same screen as i choose the ''open with...'' option when i left clic on the file . when i choosed the s3d.exe did just...nothing !

anyway , problem is solved thanks to Jeff's post !
@Jeff: when i followed your advice and searched the registry for ''dat_auto_file'' ended.... to no results.
but today , i was rereading your post and i thought to search for ''s3d'' in registry and....bingo !





the problem was that although i had installed the v099 ,the paths in the registry had this marked ''(v0.9.4)'' which is not the correct path for the v099.
by changing the paths from ''Silent 3ditor (v0.9.4)'' to ''Silent 3ditor'' the problem was solved ! this change was needed tobe made to several areas in the registry as the ''Silent 3ditor (v0.9.4)'' was appearing to more than one place in there (defaults for sim,zon...etc )

Thank you Jeff for the advice and Danasan for your suggestions
