Can someone tell me where the switch setting is to get MSVC 6 to understand cc filetypes? as in color the keywords.

There's supposed to be a way to do it, but I can't get it to work either automagically...

So what I do is, open the file in the IDE , right click on it then change the language to C++ and close the dialog.
From that point on, that file is recognised as C++ by the workspace and you get the nice highlighting.

OK, I feel thicker than cold treacle now :-)

Still doesn't seem to show cc files in the file open dialog... or hasn't it worked?

Open another file up then switch back, did the same for me, close the fille then reopen it.
