Maps not opening

[oOldXman]

Hi,

When I double click on map icon anywhere on my hard drive, World Editor loads but not the map, so then I have to go to "File > Open Map..." and then open it. It's nothing critical but it is annoying. Probably the answer is very simple, but I can't figure it out. I'm using Windows XP Professional (don't know if this info helps somehow...).

Please help,

I don't believe there is a way to fix this, but I'm pretty sure it only happens to maps that require the expansion, because of having to load the model file extras.

~anyone; Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

But it wasn't like this before . I was trying to install the WE Unlimited, I didn't like it so I uninstalled the whole WC3 to make sure nothing gets in my way later on, besides I wanted to install WC3 on my memory stick .

It's probably because you reinstalled WC3 into a different folder. If so, try putting it back in the old folder.

What do you mean? It is there where it should be, all the installation settings were default.

Are you sure you're double-clicking fast enough? I know it's silly, but...
Also, are you sure that W3E doesn't load? Check your process manager.

WarCraft 3 World Editor loads but not the map. Instead of opening my saved map it creates new one, the default Lordaeron Summer 64x64.

You try -> Open with option (select WE there?)
That bug can be created if you CNP WE!

Happens to me to. It is a slight annoyance. But it's like... always happened for me ever since I installed JNGP. So I'm used to it after a few years, LOL

I once had the same problem and found 2 solutions for it
solution 1 wa to use a registry fixer to make wc3 recognize the path
solution 2 requires a tool to manipulate the way wc3 opens files and add a command to it
I'll edit them in here asap
(while I am looking for it you can use drag&drop )
