That feature toggles support for documents, text files, spreadsheets, pdf files, etc.

You can import, organize, and launch data files with MC by default.

Is there a way to control what program is used to open .log files over Media Server?  At the moment, Windows file management is set to have Notepad open .log files, and Notepad IS the program that is used for opening these files locally (like on the server.)  However, when opening these files via the Media Server client, Internet Explorer is automatically used instead, which is a problem since the text is displayed with no formatting -- i.e. it's just a big block of text, which makes it really difficult to read.

Is there a way to get the Media Server client to use Notepad to open these files?  Is this perhaps a bug?  I assume that the use of IE to open these files on the MS client has something to do with the fact that the files are accessed via an "m01p://" address, but it seems like there might be a way of overriding this.

Thanks,

Larry
