Also, a right-click, or applications key on the file will give you "open with" and that gives you program options, and if you have to browse to Chirp, it will only need to be done once, because it will be in the "open with" list next time.

Kent,
problems. One tip: CHIRP prompts you to save your setup. When I went to the saved file (an .img file) and clicked on it, it said "the file is corrupted". After a couple of frustrating hours I tried opening the saved file by clicking on 'file', 'open' in the CHIRP program, and the saved image file opened OK.
By default Windows associates the ".img" extension with CD burning software. So when you double-click a saved CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file, Window tries to load it into that CD burning software (for which that software the file being loaded is truly corrupt). You either have to load it from within CHIRP (like you did) or change the association of the ".img" extension to CHIRP so you can double-click on it to load it into CHIRP by default (but then you won't be able to double-click on CD "image" files) to automatically load then into the CD burning software.
