installed on the same computer. I currently have 6.0 installed and planning
to install .net 2003 along with it. However, the question is, for registered
files, would .net override all the file types for visual studio? In other
words, currently, if I double click, say a .cpp or .dsw file for example, it
would automatcially launch visual c++ 6.0. But then if I were to install
..net also and then double click those .cpp or .dsw, would it still open
visual c++ 6.0 or would it open visual c++ .net?

It will default to open the files with Visual Studio.NET 2003. However, you
can easily adapt to right-clicking on a given file, then selecting Visual
Studio 6, which should automatically appear as an option.
