How Can I Make .sb Files Automatically Open When Clicked On?

Hello, for days I've been trying to figure out how to open .sb files by clicking on them, rather than dragging and dropping them onto the Scratch interface. I've tried changing the program the .sb files open with to "Scratch.exe," but now whenever I click on a .sb file a Windows Explorer window titled "Squeak: Please select an image file..." shows up, prompting me to search for a ".image" file. Any clues as to what I should do? I can always just import the .sb file from Scratch, but I'm lazy and I'd just like to be able to double-click on a .sb file to open its contents. Any help would be very appreciated :)


Okay, what just happened?

That's odd...
For me, I am able to double-click a .sb file and get it to open.

I have never seen anything like that happen.
The "open with" method should also have worked...

I'm not sure what's up, but you could try reinstalling Scratch (back up your projects just in case).

Shift-click the R in the scratch logo and click save image for end user. I think that might do it.  wink

Or you could try uninstalling, then reinstalling it to reset the file associations.


Hai.

FG and northmeister both have very good solutions! Try nm's, it should work. If not, uninstall and reinstall, like fg said.  smile
