>>>Then you can check the settings in foxrun.pif, I don't remember about win 95 but in 3.1, I have created lot of PIF files by keeping few general settings like memory required, ems required etc.
>>
>>Yes, I wanted to try that but whenever I click on a PIF extension, again this Open with associate files window appears. What executable should I associate with that extension?

>Pls check the msdosprompt pif file by right clicking and then properties and see what command line it is showing. Hope this helps

Forgot to add one more thing, If pif and executable file are in same directory, win will run the PIF file, if there is no pif for that executable it will run it from a default pif
