wine users - Mar 2007 - Default file viewer

Greetings all,

  I am running Newsbin Pro under Wine, and it works fairly well.
However, I cannot read a post. When I try, I get a pop-up "No Viewer
is Defined for this File Type".  Since Newsbin creates a .txt file for
viewing, I would assume that it needs a text editor/browser to view
it.

 Could some kind soul tell me how I can define a viewer to be used
with this program? I assume that this would be a registry entry
somewhere pointing to something like notepad.exe.

 Thanx in advance

What version of Wine? From where (compiled, installed binaries)?

Well, if Newsbin uses the registry, try running regedit, click on 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.txt (assuming it exists), and see if the default 
value is "txtfile".

Then in 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Classes\\txtfile\\shell\\open\\command 
there should be:
@="c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe %1"
