Probably the easiest way to fix this, but doesn't always work like you expect is as follows... - Hold down the SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK on one of the .c source files. - Select `Open With' from the pop-up menu. - Scroll through the list of programs to find your C++ program (if it's not there then click on `Other' and find the executable file for the program on your HDD manualy. - Click on the program in the list and then click the box that says `Always use this program to open this type of file'. - Click on the OK button. If all goes well, then your C++ program should open up and load the appropriate C file. If it does not, then you're best bet is to try to re-install the program so that it will be able to associate the file type itself in the install.
