Hi Eric and all the others

How do you get this behaviour? I'm using Miktex (of course) with Win XP.
Since I'm using Winedt I don't have to give file names, I only need to click
a button - like Windows users want to do :-) - in order to latex or pdflatex
any document. The question how Miktex and/or LaTeX interact with Windows and
how are they linked remains. Do you have any hints where I can learn more
about this or how can one customize/set the behaviour of Win Explorer
regarding Miktex?

Best Regards,
