    Default Trouble opening files

    Not sure what I have done here but suddenly I no longer get the normal popup window (where you can browse to the file) when I go to open a drawing or template. Instead, I get a command prompt asking me to " Enter name of drawing to open <.>: "

    I've restarted but the problem persists. Is there a setting I have accidentaly toggled that prevents the normal window from opening?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    PS - running ADT 2007

    I think it is your filedia variable. change it to 0 or 1, whatever it is not set to currently.

    That did the trick, thanks bb!
