    Try do do following:

    * Run WordPad in Windows
    * Right click on WordPad dock icon and choose SmartSelect
    * Set DOC to be opened on Mac side

    Yes, after upgrading to 3.0, my Mac now tries to open all Mac documents found using Spotlight (doc, pdf, ppt etc) in FireFox under WinXP. I therefore have to manually reset all type of documents to it's proper program on the Mac. Can Parallels please change this odd behaviour and make my files once again recognize the program they belong to?

    Just right click on firefox icon in doc and set to open all its documents on Mac side. In next build we will make an option to disable/reset SmartSelect.
