Hello MATLAB World (sorry, first post here)

Having a new problem with opening m-files with meditor.exe (i.e. - not in an active session of MATLAB).

Opening any m-file, regardless of location, with meditor.exe starts meditor.exe (seen in Windows Task Manager) but does not display a window. This problem did not occur last week. This problem does NOT occur when logged into the same machine under a different account.

Details:
MATLAB 7.1.0.246 (R14) service pack 3
Windows 2000 (so no recent updates to cause this problem)

My first suspicion would be to check the file association for the extension
..m to make sure that the command that executes actually includes a reference
to the file that was clicked. If it just calls meditor.exe without telling
it what file to open, then you would see the behavior you described. I
don't remember the exact sequence of steps to view file associations in
Windows 2000, so you'll need to search for that information.
