Re: [IRCA] Saved Perseus Files

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

When you say that you choose a file on the desktop, do you mean that you
are in Perseus and trying to open it ? If so, that suggests that for some
reason Perseus 'wants' to see files in that folder, which is likely the
default.

On the other hand, if you are trying to open a .wav directly from the
desktop when you're not in Perseus, that says to me that WMP is set as the
system default for .wav files on your computer.
