I recently had to do a clean install of 1903 and file associations are now an issue in XYplorer. If I use Windows Explorer and double click on, say, a .jpg file, my default viewer takes over. If I do that in XYplorer (20.30) I get a MS popup that has me select a program for viewing, and even if I check the box to use that viewer as the default, I get the same popup when I double-click on any image file within Windows' list (it's not happening with my camera RAW files, but I haven't set that up in Windows yet).

It seems as though some part of the program-to-system interface has changed, as I also have a problem with my email client (program) not recognizing the Windows setting that shows it's the default (almost as if they've changed the registry source for it).

01. Create a CFA (Custom File Association) for it
E.g.:

Code: Select all

"Windows Photo Viewer" {:Image}>::run """%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe"" ""%ProgramFiles%\Windows Photo Viewer\PhotoViewer.dll"", ImageView_Fullscreen <curitem>";

or whatever you want to use...

02. Group policy

Code: Select all

    gpedit.msc
    ==========
    Local Computer Policy
      Computer configuration
        Administrative templates
          Windows Compononents
            File Explorer
              "Do not show the 'new application installed' notification"
                (o) Enabled
