------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 16 19:27:14 +0000 2007 ------- Repair did not work... There is absolutely no reason why OOo should not be able to manage these associations after it is installed. My problem apparently was caused by permissions problems on the registry settings. My argument is, if these can be fixed manually, by changing the permissions, there is no reason that an OOo FAM could not *also* handle permissions problems - again - as long as the User had Full Admin Rights... > When you install OOo on Windows you are usually > doing this for all users. Then the setup application > registers the file associations for all users. Yes - all of which is exactly how the FAM would/should work... > The file association manager in OOo will not be able to > access these settings! Eh? Why not? Oh - re-reading my original post, I didn't make it clear that this functionality would only be available if the user trying to make use of it was logged on with Admin Rights... this is obvious, so I didn't specifically mention it... > Instead of this it will try to set something for the current user. > This will rather screw up things than fix them. Not if they are logged on with Admin Rights - and again, there is no reason that OOo couldn't simply detect this, and display a message (that this functionality requires being logged n as a User with Full Admin Rights) if a User who does not have full Admin Rights tries to access the FAM... > A file association manager inside OOo does not make sense at all and > especially on Vista is a No-No. It makes *perfect* sense, due to its nature (a full Office Suite that has the ability to take over File Associations of another Office Suite) - even in Vista... As I said - I do understand that this ability must be limited to a User who is logged in with Administrative Rights, and that changes affect all users (just as they do at install time). Again, not *one* argument I have ever heard against having a File Associations Manager built into OOo makes any sense to me... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
