Olin is correct. I just tried this (I have an extra problem since I do
not have administrator in this computer at work, so -noswitch 
command line option is necessary) and that is the case. .mcw will 
be okay. .mcp will bring up MPLAB but there is nothing inside.
This is the case with MPLAB 7.10 but I think 7.20 will be the same.

The problem with .mcw file (the workspace file) is that it has
the absolute directory info. .mcp (project file) does not. Therefore
if people want to move the workspace to a different directory, they
have to open MPLAB, open the project file and then save the workspace.
This is the only reason I can think of why we want to associate .mcp 
file with MPLAB.
