How can I make Version 7 default in Windows 7?

autodeskguest

I am not an OS expert and maybe it shows image

 

Anyhow, because several clients of mine did not upgrade to V7 I must

also keep V6 on the computer. It rns Windows 7 64-bit Professional. Any

time I click on a *.sch file it opens it in V6. I cannot even select in

Windows to open in V7 because Eagle V7 doesn't show in the menu.

 

So far the only way to open such files is to fire up V7, then go through

the file open menues and open the file. Of course, this does not work

with an Eagle file attached to an email which will always open in V6.

 

What gives?

    As I wrote, that only shows "eagle.exe" and this results in V6 being

    opened. V7 does not show up. V7 can only be opened direcvtly or via the

    desktop shortcut.
