Ok.. I have tried and tried to get this to work but still no luck.

Here is what I have installed on my box:

VS6
VS2003
VS2005

Here is my problem:

From windows explorer if I right click on any type of source file (.cs, .c,    
.h, etc.) and click Open With and select VS2005 it doesnt work. VS2005
opens up but it does not actually load the source file.

I have tried setting my Open With to use "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" and it acts like I mentioned above.

If I set it to use "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE
\devenv.com" it seems to work but it opens up a DOS window first.  Not a
good solution since it should open it up w/o doing this.

I can open up source files in VS6 and VS2003 w/o any problems using Open
With it is just VS2005 that is giving me this headache.

I tried performing Restore File Associations in VS2005 but no luck.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chuck

I have noticed the same sort of problem on another system that only has
VS2005.  It seems to be a hit or miss in terms of opening up source files.  
Maybe even (and I know that it sounds strange but I tested it quite a bit)
that the first time I try to open a source file it does not open so I close
down VS and try again and it works. I have to repeat that for each new
source file I open up.

Arg.. very odd...
