File Open

When i do a File Open and select the Folder which has my  Part Files in it.

Nothing shows up on the screen, because the option box in the lower right

corner always comes up with ( Assembly sldasm) in it. This causes me to

have to click on it--Then a list of all the file types which can be opened comes

up--But --sldprt--is not one of the choices---so i choose (Add-Ins) and click on

it---now i have the choice of (All-Files)  click on it and all my  part files showup!!!

Something does not seem right-----

               

             Any suggestions---      Rick
