You might want to look and see whether somebody fiddled around with 
"File Associations" or whatever it's called on the server.  The thing 
that causes 'doze to assume that a file is always opened by the same 
program based on the extension.  That's caught my wife once or twice (I 
don't do Windoze).

Consider urinals and the Army.  They were never a problem, because men
regard the entire earth as a urinal in waiting.  The side of the road,
the middle of the road, a tree, the ocean -- they don't discriminate.
The way feminists see oppression everywhere, men see urinals.  It's a
design feature.			-- Fred Reed, www.fredoneverything.net
