-====Configuring File Types====
-The CATS cloud host is designed to download files generated by CATS directly to your computer (rather than opening them on the cloud host).
-If Excel/Word/PDF files are opening on the Cloud Host you can resolve this by using the Default Applications control panel tool.
+Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts to access the options in the menu.
-From CATS go to File > User Preferences > User Settings and then open the "Documents" tab. At the bottom of the panel there is a button labeled "Default Applications". Click on this button to pull up the Windows default applications control panel.
+====Emailing From CATS====
+The cloud host is set up with [[https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/|Mozilla Thunderbird]] (a free, open-source email client) that you can use to send outgoing emails from CATS. The first time you email from CATS, you'll be prompted to enter your email host's credentials.
-Click on the up-arrow to return up one level and then select "Associate a file type or protocol with a program"

+Once you have thunderbird properly configured you'll be able to send emails directly from the cloud host.
-This will bring up a list of all the file types registered for the computer. Scroll through the list to find the file types associated with Excel (*.xlsx/*.xls) or Word (*.docx/*.doc) or PDF (*.pdf). Select the file type you would like to change and click on the "Change program..." button.

-This will bring up a "How do you want to open..." dialog with options. To download and open the file locally select "OpenOnClient". If that option is not visible you can click on "More apps" to reveal a full list and select "OpenOnClient" there. Then select "OK".
