File association will not stick

Post by marisoft »

Even though am clicking YES to "Make this default pdf-viewer" and ticking "do not prompt in the future" the program keeps asking this at every launch.

Build 24.

Cheers,

No such problem here on Windows XP Home.

What OS are you using? Do you have adminstrator's privileges?
Windows 10 Home 64-bit • AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, 8 Gb

Hi Poul,

have you tried a complete uninstall - re-install - ensuring you have the latest release ?
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

Yes - tried that last night. Reset the default to Adobe, uninstalled, downloaded latest build and did a fresh install.

Same problem.

I guess a setting in the registry needs manual deletion ?!

I have the same problem with version 1.0.0024 under Windows XP.

If I am an Administrator it works, but if I am only User, it keeps prompting me, although I have all necessary rights in the Registry.

As administrator, the file association has worked, but as a user I keep getting requests to make it the default application.

I am using Vista

Looks like there is trouble with accessing registry from the user's account. Will check here.
