    You can set your preferences in Windoz to open specific files then use the "charm" search area and then double click to open in Xara. Sorry it's nearly the same as Mikes reply.

    Looks like I'm going to have to live with it. I believe MS will shortly be tweaking the way apps run within the Windows 8 environment, maybe they will add some extra functionality.

    Sledger gave me a link to a great little utility called Everything search engine which was far superior to Windows Vista search functions. I know Windows 7 & 8 search's have been greatly improved but I never use them and rely on Everything now on my Windows 7 machine. It's drag and drop and Windows8 compatible.

    Give it a try. LINK
