open with...

[Steve]

I have several users that are having this problem. I have
watched them try to open a .jpg, it asks which program,
they choose picture manager (comes with office 2003), and
check the box to always use this program. A few days
later they will come to me saying they tried to open
a .jpg and it asked which program AGAIN. Why won't
windows remember this setting? It happens
with .gif, .bmp, etc.

I am running 2000 server, sp4, XP Pro, sp1, office 2003.

I am trying to permanently set office picture manager as
the default program for .jpg, .gif, .bmp. and it keeps
asking even after it has been told properly. Any help
would be great.

I have noticed this trait of Windows XP. It just doesn't want to save
setting to the reg, when it does it will change to setting.

I have this problem with Iexplorer not starting maximized all the time. Some
how the setting gets changed.

Maybe SP2 will correct this problem.
