Wow...this finally explains what I've been researching for much of yesterday and today. Zach, am I understanding correctly that it is
not possible with Vista to open different file types simultaneously? Not simply an option somewhere, but not possible at all? E.g., in the work that I do, I habitually open a *.doc, *.tiff, and *.dss all at the same time because they all relate to the one task I am working on.
Thanks much! I find it horribly aggravating, as opening and running multiple files was truly the primary reason I got such a souped up laptop in the first place, but if I've found an answer, at least I can get back to work and stop fussing with 'fixing' it.
