I don't get it. Microsoft don't allow a random program to change the file association (and do other stuffs) because of security reasons. But it trust the Setup program. Right? Then, is so difficult to do a malicious program and wrap it in a setup? Microsoft loose, the user and the programmer are both annoyed and the script kidies win!
