Specifying File Associations Under Windows

On Windows systems, the Desktop section of the Preferences dialog allows you to set file associations: file extensions that will be associated with GaussView and for which the application will be opened automatically when such a file is opened. It is illustrated below. Note that the file extensions are divided among two panels.

Specifying Windows File Associations

To create a file association between GaussView and the listed Gaussian file type, place a check mark in the associated box. Removing the check mark similarly removes the file association. The Scope drop-down specifies whether the file association is to affect only the current user or all users on the system.
