I also mentioned people opening many different groups to find the applications they use for a project. When you install a Windows application, it usually creates a program group of its own. However, if you use different applications for a task or project, it is faster to have all of those programs located in the same group. Since icons can be copied into a group, you can create a group just for a particular project and still keep the original group. That way, when the project is done, you can delete the entire project group, and still have access to the applications though Program Manager.
Most projects have certain data files that they always use.
This is where file associations come in. With file associations, you could have an icon representing your client list and another representing your vendor list. When you double-click on the icon, the Cardfile application is run, and the data file is automatically loaded. To associate an extension with an application, double-click on the File Manager icon in the Main group. Find a file with the extension that you want to associate with an application.
