I was pleasantly surprised to find that Windows Media Player 11 did not do that with a custom install, and the Express Install Option explicitly told you that it would reset file associations. MS seems to be getting it more and more. I'm running Vista Home Premium on my laptop, and have been quite pleasantly surprised. Windows Photo Gallery in particular is a major improvement (And far superior to iPhoto IMHO). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
