[Dxbase] LoTW Download Report

[George Johnson]

Sandy,
I just downloaded an update to my LoTW QSL records tonight and I received 
the .adi file directly as it was before the "upgrade".  I don't think the 
situation you described is associated with LoTW.  It sounds like your 
computer settings have changed to deal with downloaded files differently.

I use Windows XP Home.  Pass along your operating system and maybe someone 
can help you with the file download settings in your OS.  The web page and 
txt file procedure you are going through doesn't sound easy or necessary.
