Open file from Explorer

[adam1986]

I am unable to open CAD files from explorer (windows 10)

On clicking the file a NX window opens but i then have to either navigate to the file via "open" or if it is a PRT file i can drop it into the window. STP files does not allow the drop option.

After a quick google, i have looked into the file type associativity and found that teh files should ope opened using UGS_router.exe, if i change to this an error message stating "desitination not found"

I have also used Command prompt to look into this and noted the the association to a .prt file is a prtfile and not UGSpartfile as expected

I currently have NX8.5, NX10 and Creo 3.0 on my machine so i'm assuming that its thinking its a generic Creo file and not a UG file.

i uninstalled Creo 3.0 and now there is no association to a .prt file giving the error

.prt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

IM not sure where to go from here????

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

update

ive used this logic to associate a .prt to UGpart file

assoc .py=py_auto_file
ftype py_auto_file="C:\Anaconda\python.exe" "%1" %*

so i now get the following in command prompt

C:\Windows\system32>assoc .prt
.prt=UGpartfile

C:\Windows\system32> .prt=UGpartfile
'.prt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\Windows\system32>ftype UGpartfile
UGpartfile="C:\PLM\NX85\UGII\ugs_router.exe" -ug -use_file_dir "%1"


Ive set via default filetype .prt to launch with the NX8.5 ugs_router.exe however im still getting the "no desitnation specificed" error box along with the routing to application box

Thanks
