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.

    FWIW, the version of Cardfile.exe I have is straight off the Windows NT 3.51 install CD and it runs just fine on my Surface Pro 4 running Windows 10 64 bit, version 1607, the recent Anniversary Update.  The 32 bit versions run fine, it's the 16 bit versions from Windows 95/98 that won't run on Win 10 64bit - 64 bit will thunk down to 32 but not 16.

    In fact, if you have Windows 7 32 bit, it will run with no compatibility issues at all by just double clicking it...
