| | Re: ADD FILE EXTENSION To clarify, when you double-click on a .flv file, you will see a dialog. Choose "Select a program from a list of installed programs". Then you will see "Type a description that you want to use for this kind of file". Type "Flash Video File" (no quotes), and then click on Browse, and browse to the folder that contains the *.exe file for the program. Double-click on "Program".exe.
