QUESTION:
"I want my employees and students to open a test with Study-It™ on Monday through Thursday, so that the "Information Screen/correct answers" button is available for training and study purposes. On Friday, I want to hide and secure the answers and open that same test with Test-It™ for final testing purposes. Can I do it?"

ANSWER:
YES. This page will teach you how to change the "file association attribute" from the program Test-It™ (*/test-it/test-it.exe) to the program Study-It™ (*/test-it/study-it.exe) and back again.

(Example: "Open *.tes files with Study-It™ until I instruct the computer to open it with Test-It™ on Friday.")

          All Windows operating systems (W95, W98, W-NT and W2000) use the 8:3 naming routine (Example: Abcd1234.xxx) They require that each file type's 3 letter extension (*.xxx, *.htm, *.jpg, *.gif, etc.) be associated with some application or executable program such as Microsoft's Word™, Excel™, Access™ or our Study-It™ and Test-It™. When you click or double-click on a file name, the operating system knows exactly which program to open so that you can successfully use the selected file name.
          The problem is that you can only select one file name association per extension type. You can easily manage these operating system associations so the the operating systems will try to open any specific extension type with any program.
          Here is how to do it:

     Double-click on the Windows Explorer desktop icon.
     (Alternate method - select START > PROGRAMS > WINDOWS EXPLORER.)
     (All examples assume you have install The Test-It Series™ to hard drive C:\.)
