84120 - Images all converted to Netscape based on my system

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Sweeney]

All my image files have been modified so that they are opened in Netscape. When
I try to modify this ("Open with", and check the box that says to open all like
files in the future with the chosen program) it will not change. I can open them
individually with another program, but this will not change the file assignment. 

How can this be changed?

The images themselves are _not_ changed in any way.  Just some registry 
settings...  Over to installer.

Comment 2

[Henrik Gemal]

the installer doesn't do the open with mozilla/netscape thing.

Isn't that part of what the Windows Integration dialog does when you first run
mozilla?  Perhaps that should have some extra options, rather than just yes or no...

One easy way to solve it is:
Go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced/system and uncheck all the options, then if you
want to restore web extension (htm,html,xml) go to your prefered browser and
check the options for an entry "check whether is the default browser" and
restart it.
If you want any other program to take over the extension look around the options.
Should mozilla make a backup of the changed extansion to revert the changes?,
looks like a RFE to me.
NOTE TO THE POSTER: Windows have settings to know what programs are used to
handle a filetype, the files aren't changed in any way only the program who
handle them.Launch the windows explorer, go to View/options/file types and look
at the extensions.

Marking WORKSFORME. Adding relnote keyword. Possibly should be in release notes
