Hi,
I have copied HyperTerminal that I use quite a lot from an XP machine to a W8 machine but am unable to associate the .ht file type with HyperTerminal so that double-clicking launches the app, but other than that it works fine.
When I try to make the association I get the error message:
Title: Cannot associate file type with this program
Message: The program you have selected cannot be associated with this file type. Please choose another program.
What restriction am I falling foul of and is there a way around it?
HyperTerminal is in the Program Files (x86) folder.
With thanks
Jamie
