A 2.6-5) The Windows registry associates file types with programs, so that double clicking on a file of a particular type initiates a program in a clearly defined way. (Thus, typically double clicking on a file with type txt typically initiates the Notepad utility in Windows, opening the file clicked on.) As defined by the installation procedure, lpr files (the files defining projects) are associated with allegro.exe/allegro.dxl, the Modern version of Allegro CL with the IDE. Double-clicking on an lpr file thus starts the Modern image with the IDE, and opens the project associated with the lpr file. If you want the ANSI Allegro CL with the IDE (allegro-ansi.exe/allegro-ansi.dxl) to start instead, you must modify the registry. The simplest way to do this is with a Windows tool. The exact tool location and name differs on different Windows version. For example, on Windows 95/98 and NT, open the View menu on the Windows Explorer and click on the Options… item. This will display an Optio
