You can associate all CRD files with cardfile.exe. Then make a shortcut to any of your CRD files and the shortcut will auto-launch cardfile.exe and open your clicked CRD file in it.

How do you associate CRD files with cardfile.exe? Easy. Right click any of your CRD files, select Properties. On the General tab, there is an item labeled: "Opens with:". There is a "CHANGE" button to the right of that which, when clicked, takes you to a list of applications from which you can choose. You can have your system open CRD files with whatever application you choose but CRD files are native to cardfile.exe so that would be your best choice.

hope this helps.

    HI Yogi,

    Your solution is very clever and resourceful. I'm going to try it out right Away and maybe I'l be able to bring my old cardfile  program to life again.

    I found the 32 bit version that came with Windows NT today at http://internetvail.com/files/

    It works on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

    Apparently the cardfile.hlp is no longer needed as I only downloaded the exe and it worked.  The .zip is the same thing just zipped up.

    Thanks for the post, I didn't have problems until Win 7 64 bit. I was using the win 3.11 cardfile.exe file. I went to the link you posted and grabbed the file, works perfectly and even displays the orig cardfile ico. I like it because it's simple to use unlike using excell to make a phone/address book. MS needs to make an add on for us old timers that like to use it but for now this is a big help, thanks again.
