Installing upgrade changes my File Association preferences

[asherber]

I have Preferences > File Associations set for PDF-XChange not to be my thumbnail handler, for PDF files because I don't want to see PDF thumbnails.

When I recently installed the 10.6.1.397 update, the installer registered PDF-XChange as my thumbnail handler.

It would be nice if the installer recognized that PDF-XChange had previously been installed and did not change these file association settings.

Hi, asherber

it shouldn't actually change that. Did you have to use the Editor preferences to restore the functionality you want?

There is a utility called XCShInfoSetup in C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\Shell Extensions that can be used to set this. I am keen to hear if using that sticks if you set it to "None" in there:

Though you'll need to wait for the next update to test this...
