If you still want to open the file, click Open With, otherwise, click Cancel.   Then there are the Open With... and Cancel buttons on the bottom   Can anyone tell me why I'm seeing this in my folders?  I've been deleting them, but when I look in my Recycle bin, they are not always there.  Sometimes they are.    myra herron :-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~:-~: If it's not immediately apparent, be sure to mention how your query relates to family research.
