Hello,

I know this problem too. But that shouldn't Guide prevent from starting.
In my case (with WIN NT 4.0) the extension .MAR wasn't even listed in FILE
TYPES. So I created a new type as "Guide Mark-File". But also this didn't show
the extension in the explorer.
With WIN 2k I could change the FILE TYPE so that it is opened with Notepad.
And here the extension is shown.
