I have *.nzb programs I want to associate with altbinz.exe.  Now, I right click Open With and FireFox appears. Choose Default Program and the recordedprogram is FireFox <sigh> Expanding Other Programs and I get an assorted lot. None of which are appropraite to my purpose. The 'Browse'option get me to the *.exe - but it has NO effect.  How can I add AltBinz to the list of program options permanently?

    I think this is a Windows Vista "how to" issue.  There is probably a lot you can find out on the Microsoft web support site for Vista.

    Ha! Ha! I must have taken a wrong turn the first time round and was directed to Acer. After I downloaded a program to detect System Information and winkle the SNID, I was able to join this community.

     

    Thank You for your suggestion.  Just tried Microsoft/Window/Vista... Had to sign in to get to the Support Techs. They called within 10 mins and offered to fix their programs glitch if I paid US$149.

     

    Still looking for a fix. May have hit upon something @ the AltBinz forum. Let me give it a try and report back.

    The answer came from another AltBinz user, actually. The program set-up can be set to "Register NZB extensions to Alt.Binz" Nothing could be easier... if you know how.
