Somehow the correlations got screwed up. When I click on a .pdb
intending to hotsync, instead of the Install tool I get Firefox. How can
I change that back to what it was?

Thanks!


It's probably a Windows-related question. You can usually (depending on the
version of Windows) go to Explorer (the file manager, not the browser),
then find "Folder Options" under "View". Find "Filetypes" (or a variant of
this title). Erase the association for PDB files.

Open a PDB file from an arbitrary directory and when you are asked which
application to use, choose the Installation tool for Palm.

PS - What does Firefox do with PDB files anyway? The file extension
methodology of Microsoft is flawed and your problem is one proof of that.


Microsoft flawed? Heresy!

Your solution solved the problem -- thanks!
