No. The same thing has happened numerous times before over the last 18 
months since I have had WT installed. This time I had created a new 
folder in My Documents called AFS CW 2008 to put our 4 Cabrillo logs in, 
G3SJJ (N1MM), G3BJ (WT), G0MTN (WL) and GW3YDX (N1MM.) I opened each one 
up in turn. Three opened successfully into Notepad and one (YDX's) 
incurred the WT problem. I got fed up of it this time so instead of just 
accepting it as usual and selecting Notepad manually, I decided to ask 
for advice. Like I say it must be some feature, OK bug if you insist it 
isn't a feature, in WT that does this on certain files. I last ran WT in 
mid November to re-train for CQWWCW so it couldn't be anything I had 
done recently.

At least now I know how to rectify it, I will be able to sort any future 
hijacking out!
