Using your Windows Explorer, find the Options
selection under the View menu. Select the File
Types tab. Now find (or create) the "IDL binary file"
type. It will have a SAV extension. The action
to assign is "open". You are going to open
it with the IDL run-time version. Here is
how the "Application used to perform action"
is defined on my machine:

"D:\RSI\IDL54\bin\bin.x86\idlrt.exe" "%1"

That should do it.

Cheers,

David
