Do not remember default image software

Post by pedrolagoa »

I have to select the Image viewer every time. Windows/XYPlorer do not remember it. :veryconfused:
Windows Explorer remembers it.
XYPlorer don't.

XYPlorer/Windows shows this message every single time:

I guess MS tied this functionality to their own File Explorer. When you do it once in Windows File Explorer, does it stick then?

Tried it in 20H2 Build 19042.572

XYplorer 21.80.0305 (portable)
IrfanView 4.58 x64

Installed IrfanView, for all users, no file associations selected

Opened a .png file from XY, selected "IrfanView 64-bit" in the dialog, [x] Always use this app...

Afterwards, did the same again and the file opened in IrfanView without any questions asked...

This was written to the registry on first opening the .png file:

Code: Select all
