		+	**Double click on the script file or a shortcut to the script file.
		+	**If you do not have Ruby installed on your local machine or proper file associations in place Windows will show you an error telling you it does not know what to do with that kind of file.
		+	**In the error window select the option to choose an application from a list, then click OK.
		+	**Click on Browse then navigate to "S:\Digital Projects\Administrative\scripts\Ruby193\bin" and select in this case "rubyw.exe"
		+	**Make sure the "Always use this application..." box is checked, and click "Ok".
		+	**Once the file association is made files with that extension will always default to opening with the selected application.
		+	**The file associations need to be set separately for each computer that needs to run scripts with an executable located on the S Drive.
