    Default Error when I double-click a .xar file in explorer

    I have searched the forums for an answer to this, but can't seem to find one...

    Whenever I double-click a .xar file in Windows Explorer, Xtreme starts up and loads the file correctly, but Windows Explorer displays an error like this:
    Cannot find the file 'C:\Drawing.xar' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.
    Is there something I can do on my computer to fix this?

    Thx...

    I'm pretty sure I've had that happen to me as well...

    I believe that happens if you apply a fill to an object from another directory then move the 'fill' and/or rename, but I am not entirely sure, I know it happened to me on a few occasions when I moved some files for archiving.

    I discovered the fix. It's all in the registry... All I did was to remove the "ddeexec" key beneath this key:
    Code:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XaraX.Document\Shell\open
    It had nothing to do with applying fills...
