FYI - in Dired+: 1. `C-RET' opens the file using its MS Windows file association. So a PDF file might open using Acrobat. An image file might open using Irfanview. A music file... 2. `M-RET' opens Windows Explorer to the file or folder. 3. `RET' opens a file or folder normally (in Emacs). Each is kept separate, so you can choose #1, #2, or #3 for a given file at different times. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DiredPlus
