- LAUNCHMD is a Win3 program that solves the problem of trying
- to open multiple Excel or Winword documents by double-clicking
- on the .XLS or .DOC files from the File Manager. Without LAUNCHMD,
- double-clicking the second Excel file will open a second instance
- of Excel; and Winword won't run a second instance. The preferred
- action is to open the document as a second window within the same
- instance. File...Associate your spreadsheet and winword document
- files to LAUNCHMD and you'll have a better launcher.
-
-
- Installation Proceures:
-
- Copy LAUNCHMD.EXE to your Windows directory or in a
- sub-directory that is in your PATH statement.
-
- From the File Manager, use File... Associate to associate
- .XLS, .XLC, .XLW, .XLM, .DOC, and .DOT to LAUNCHMD.EXE
-
- Make sure Excel and Winword are in your PATH statement.
-
- The next time you double-click on a spreadsheet or document
- file in the File Manager window, Excel or Winword will open the
- document as a window -- just as you would from File... Open.
-
- You can also drag the .XLS or .DOC files to a Program Manager
- group and change the icon to point to excel.exe or winword.exe.
-
- Enjoy!
