View Full Version : Get error when dragging file onto printer shortcut

I have a piece of softeware for managing printing (FinePrint). Dragging a
file onto a shortcut to the printer generates the following error -:

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in My Computer by clicking View and then
clicking Folder Options."

I can now double-click a print file which has the .fp extension and the
application starts OK. I did this by creating a file association with
actions of the form -:

open "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\fpdisp5a.exe" "%1"
print"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\fpdisp5a.exe" "%1"

I'm puzzled about the failure of drag and drop. Any ideas?
