Red,

I open most of my files from windows explorer like you mentioned. Instead of draging and dropping the file into xara, I just doubleclick the file in explorer and the proper file opens. You might have to close a few different windows half way through the day, but then one does that anyway I would imagine.

If it doesn't open when you doubleclick then your associations are goofy and it would be simpleiest to remove and reinstall Xpro. Or, you can try reassociating it by hand. (I will leave that to the ubber geeks).
