With apologies to adefaria, it seems the drive letter IS required. Adding "C:" in front of the ftype string fixed it. choroba and marto, keep on truckin'. And thanks. And I should have included in my original question that I did have PATHEXT set up correctly. So, in reply to Laurent R, "test.pl" gave the same response as "test", both raised the "Windows cannot access..." popup, and then replied with "Access is denied", whether with admin privileges, or not. In reply to BrowserUK, I put the ".pl" farther down the string (just before ".BAT") instead of at the beginning, as in your note and as suggested in the "help ftype" printout. Apparently, order does not matter there. Many thanks to all. and to the Monks for a great site. Actually, there is one other note -- of Perl interest -- rather than Windows. I find it interesting that Strawberry set an appropriate ASSOC entry, but did not set anything in FTYPE. Is there a good reason for that?
