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.

    I suggest you a cardfile that works great on Windows 10: EviEdit from Jean-Paul Doeraene: http://eviedit.software.informer.com/

    I am still looking for an application for Android phone 100% compatible.  For now I use: http://pnewman.com/rdex/ to import de cardfile from EviEdit to export it to Android phone.

    Hi Dave

    As it turned out they loaded windows 7 here at work.  Windows 7 Enterprise Model 03.01.04.1105 and card file worked just fine. I had it backed up on my network drive. Now I have to get winfile working. Have not tried at home on my home version. thanks for your help.

    Could anybody share a copy of 32-bit cardfile.exe, I heard a lot it would work on Windows 7 Home Premium. The file should have a file size of 101,008 bytes instead of 93,184 bytes.

    AZZ Cardfile would not open Cards with embedded pictures.

    Thanks!!!

    Look I am not a sales person but a Windows 7 Professional   user and a former Cardfile on XP forever.   I had same issue on going from the 16 bit.. and cannot find the 32 bit version a I just ground up all my old CDs... OK the solution I found was to go to this web site http://www.azzcardfile.com/ and use their free AZZ Cardfile program.  It is shareware so they would like very much for you to donate / pay $19.00 with some extra charge for using Paypal... I did as site is OK but Eastern Europe PayPal is safer than credit card.  You can import the Old MS Cardfile "*.crd"  directly into this program which has a lot of extra features.  It also allows you to export your old cardfile data to csv or other formats you can import to Outlook 2010, Excel, etc...

    Not as cheap as no cost, but what the heck, this program for $19+ is a life saver.. I know XP mode etc could do the job with a lot of hassel. 

    Note: there may be other programs out there, but this is the one that looked best to me so I bought it without the hassel of being reminded to register/pay every few uses.
