    Default Double-clicking opens ID but not file

    I've checked file associations, and still, whenever I double-click on a
    ..indd file, IDCS opens but the file doesn't. Any ideas what else to check?

    WinXP, P4, 1GB, ID3.01

    Thanks,
    BB

    Default Re: Double-clicking opens ID but not file

    If you check the file associations in Explorer, and go to (I think) Advanced, then highlight Open and hit the Edit button. The file path should be (depending where you're installed):

    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\InDesign CS\InDesign.exe" "%1"

    Sounds like you might be missing the %1 - which feeds ID the filename bit.

    Nope. It was there already. Any other ideas?
