WHAT YOU DO:
* Double-click on, right-click/Open, or right-click/Open With (Photoshop) an .atn file
RESULT:
* Photoshop opens AND
* The actions from the .atn are copied into the Actions Palette, too — just as though one executed a Load Actions command on the .atn via the Actions Palette Menu.
WHAT’S WEIRD:
Many folks in a different PS forum reported this didn’t work for them – including me.
A pretty sharp tech. guy reported this capability can be enabled with a registry hack (albeit a fairly simple one if you want to go there).
Others reported being able to do this w/o having done the registry modification.
It doesn’t appear to related to the Windows flavor / PS version installed either.
It works:
* Win98SE – PS6
* Win XP Pro – PS7
No go:
* Win 2K – PS7
* Win XP Home – PS6, PS 7
* Win XP Pro – PS7
This method was reported as a "tip" in a recent Photoshop User mag, as well.

I’m wondering if Tony, Trevor, Mathias or any of the action heavyweights who participate here can shed some light on this.
Why can come folks do it (w/o the registry change) and some folks not?
Clues, hints, pearls of wisdom appreciated.
TIA – Danny
