Thank you.  I ran the ToolsInstaller (both forms)
but that did not change anything.  However it may
have helped so that when I restored the odc file
setting that it recovered the correct BlackBox executable.

Romiras,
Yes, I had installed Office2010 which over wrote the
odc extension.

All of this fuss simply so I can publish a physics paper.

Please have a look at the module ToolsInstaller at the end of this

message. I use it to turn any given BlackBox instance into the default

BlackBox installation. It works for normal installations as well as for

server installations.

I recently upgraded to service pack 3 (SP3)
for Windows XP and now my .odc files are
no longer known correctly.  The icons are not
taken from the blackbox.exe file.

I have used the control panel under Windows and
played with Folder Options => File Types
and set the ODC extension to that of BlackBox
(actually I had to set it to a shortcut for BlackBox for it to take effect). 
If I click on a file with .odc (which used to work) Windows now says
"... not a valid Win32 application".
So it is trying to execute the file rather than opening the file with BlackBox
EVEN THOUGH the File Types knows to open with BlackBox.

So something is screwed.  I don't see how to get finer control over what
Windows thinks it should do.  I really don't want to use regedit.exe to
manipulate the registry, but will if nothing else works.

Does anyone have suggestions or solutions?
