x6 thumbnail views and open with

[Roger]

Yesterday I messed up the association with x6 Mastercam files............and now they don't show the thumbnail view, and I can't reset the open with program to X9, or 2017 Mastercam.  (X6 is no longer on this computer).  Please help.  I don't want to open all the files and resave them, if I don't have to.

So, I reinstalled X6, which helped with some of the files, but when I was posting in X9 it would use Cimco v5, instead of Cimco v7.  So I uninstalled X6, and back to where I was before.

Is there a way to globally update all X6 files to X9?  So that when I open a customer file folder it will show the thumbnail view on them?????

This is a 1st here on the forum.  Not a single reply.  I thought one of you experts (JParis, Jay Kramer, Colin Gilchrist, jeff, 5th Axis CGI, etc.) would have some idea on this.

So.......since I work for a small, and fairly new company (established about 3 1/2 years ago), I went through and opened every file, and saved it as an X9 file.  All is good now.

Sorry, had nothing to offer....

X6 is 5 versions ago for me.....I'm pretty sure it's a windows registry issue....
