Set .ado files to open with do-file editor?

[Daniel Ram]

Hello everyone,

I have been writing and editing some .ado files for a while now and one minor annoyance I come across is that I can't simply click on the file to open it in my Stata do file editor. When I try to right click and select "open with > Stata" Stata opens the file as a data file, not in the do file editor. Is there a way I can set .ado files to open with the the Stata do file editor?

Please let me know if I can clarify my question. Thanks!
