Please log in for more thread options Is there any way to stop OrCAD Capture from changing the registry? It seems convinced that I should open all of my HDL files with a schematic capture program. I think a text editor, simulator, or synthesizer would be a better choice, but no, it re-assigns all those file extensions every time it starts. Thanks In Advance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Sure... figure out which entries it's changing (use, e.g., RegView to find out which entries it is, although for something like file associations this probably isn't necessary and just browsing the registry or using Google will suffice), right-click the branch or entry in question in RegEdit, select "Permissions" and remove everything but "read" access for your user account (or whatever "scope" you need). > It seems convinced that I should open all of my HDL files with a

ORCAD is pretty poor by modern standards; Cadence has let it wither, which is rather sad given what a great program it once was. ---Joel | ||||||||||||||||||||||

For the rest my simulator is a blue cube with a power switch and a temperature dial ;-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||

The only time Orcad does the registry association thing is when it is installed. It shouldn't do anything like that when you just run the program. It sounds like you are trying to change it to something else, but are doing it in a way that doesn't stick... Charlie | ||||||||||||||||||||||
