Hi all,
  Went through a rather messy reinstall of the S3 video driver on my system
and
now observe that the dreaded Hammer and screwdriver (WPObjData) Data File is
back in my Templates folder.  This is an annoyance as there is a WPDataFile in
there also called Data File.  A looong time ago there was a trick published to
get rid of this - anyone with a long memory or a good retrieval/storage tricks
& tip database?

  About the time of this anomaly, I noticed a folder which contains quite a
large collection of standard text files (WPDataFile)s who have had their
ICON's
turned to Digital Video.  Their current class is MMVideo although they still
contain the text that a REXX CMD generates for me.  Using Association Editor,
I
have made sure that the association for the .DAT extension is with EPM.  I can
change the files class back to the correct one >Properties >Become >Change
gets
them back to WPDataFile - BUT - every time my REXX CMD runs, it creates a
*.DAT
file with the wrong class!  I've searched the Registry for clues, and tried
all
combinations in ASSOEDIT.EXE but the problem persists.

  Q1, how can I go through a range of object and change their class back to a
defined type without doing it individually and manually

  Q2, I suspect the problem is related to the Hammer & Screwdriver.  What
causes this change and how do I reverse the problem permanently.
