.conf file help.

[five8andten]

Hey everyone.  This may indeed be a noob question but I cannot figure it out.  I went to edit a conf file for the latest gridseed cgminer and somehow changed the file association to notepad.  It will not open up cgminer to my specs, but simply my specs in a notepad window. Any help to revert back to defult so the conf opens up cgminer?

There shouldn't be a problem as long as its extension is .conf.

well whenever I double click on the .conf file, it opens up notepad and not cgminer.  I've made sure to save it as a .conf file and change it to other file types when saving and not leave it as a txt file. If need be I may do a system reboot as I have to clean up the system anyways and I use it primarily for mining so it isn't that big of a deal.

You need to open cgminer.exe, and not the .conf file. The .conf file never opens up as cgminer.

thats weird as it would open cgminer before. It seems to work now though

I'm glad it worked. the .conf file is just text, so it shouldn't open CGMiner.
