288669 - TB asks on every startup whether it should be the default email app

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 294863

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Olaf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

as the summary says:
TB asks on every startup whether it should be the default email app, no matter
what I do. I tried yes and no, both with and without the "do not ask me again
checkbox". This began recently, before everything was fine (perhaps a security
update had been installed, I do not remember)

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
TB should remember what I told it

perhaps TB cannot save it because I do not have administrator rights?

someone listening?

Comment 2

My System:
win2k pro 5.00.2195 sp4
AMD athlon 1700+ XP
512 MB RAM
Firefox 1.0.4
Thunderbird 1.0.2 (just installed on top of 1.0)

I also have the same problem. I just upgraded from 1.0 to see if it would go
away and it didn't. I also re-installed 1.0.2 as the administrator (using "Run
As..."), but this didn't fix the problem.

I am willing to be contacted to work with someone to fix the problem.
