Re: BIG, BIG MISTAKE!!!

Hi GTS. You are correct about the difference in XP and Vista. The problem
is that Control Panel\Default Programs\Set Associations, normally, has the
..dll extension under the Current Default column as "Unknown application".
Unfortunately, clicking on Change Program won't offer "Unknown application"
as a choice, but merely change it to a different inappropriate program.
