Reading in files w/ Wordpad associations under NT [message #23511]

I have a problem reading in ascii files under NT that have become associated
w/ Wordpad or Notepad. For example, I have a data file named file.0001 that
has become associated w/ Wordpad when someone opened the file to look at it w/
Wordpad. Now, if I try to read ".0001" files w/ READ_ASCII in IDL, it fails
for some reason. I assume I could unassociate this file extension from Wordpad
somehow, but another user will most likely reassociate it again, so I would
like to know if someone knows of a permanent solution that will allow me to
get IDL to read in this file extension even w/ the association. Note that the
code is in fact working for similar files that aren't associated w/ Wordpad or
Notepad (i.e. file.0002, file.0003, etc)!
Thanks
