Error description
In Microsoft Windows 7 there is no 'open with' context menu when you right click on an executable fle. This is described in Microsoft Article KB259908. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259908 In the IBM Rational ClearCase Explorer context menu there is still such an option for executable files - but with no matching function from Windows 7 it does not work and can cause problems. ClearCase should not have an 'Open With' entry for a file that does not have it in Windows Explorer (such as exe, cmd, bat files). ClearCase Explorer should have 'Edit' in the context menu for all files as seen in Windows Explorer Workaround : Use the Windows Explorer context menu options.
