IE has lost XML parsing ability - pls help!
-
Guyz out there, I think I did something silly wrong thing. I was playing around with the list that comes up if you open Windows Explorer --> Tools --> Folder Options... --> File Types. This list is a list of which executables to associate with which file extensions, so that when we double click a file, the OS knows which EXE to call. By the way, I have XP Professional SP2. I deleted a few extensions from that list. One of the things I deleted was XML, and it was associated with Altova XML Spy. I always hated that when I double click an XML file, Altova would open up, blatantly advertising what its paid version offers before I can see my XML file. I had in the past tried to re-associate the XML extension with IE, but somehow Altova always regains it back. So among others, I went ahead and deleted the XML extension too. I have also deleted tons of other extensions. Result: After that if I open an XML file with IE, IE does not "parse" it. It shows just as Notepad would :^) Can you please help me to regain my IE-XML tie up back? Thanks a lot for your time and patience! Koushik Biswas
