1418981	2016-04-12 05:48:00	Only Pro has Group Policy. Easy way -- In search type in Group and the option appears 7095 As for making infran the default, how are you changing it ?? You can either right click a picture - Open With - Select ifran, then put a tick in the box saying always use this app, if the option is not there, then select Choose another App, navigate to infrans exe and select it, again ticking the box always use this app. Another way --- Open Settings ----- From Setting, Set fault App-- you can select pictures on the right or to be more accurate --- Oh Hell I'll show, its easier :) Watch This (screencast.com) Of course inrfan will show in the options. Select what you want, eg: jpeg, .png ----	wainuitech (129)

1418983	2016-04-12 22:28:00	.... Windows switches them back to the built in crap app...... Yeah, whats up with that? I installed acrobat reader , it runs OK. So then a Win10 popup tells me it doesn't like it & has switched the default pdf association back to Edge . WT very F ? It was easy enough to change it back, but still... If I wanted Edge as a pdf reader I wouldn't have installed acrobat . Any way to permanently stop Win10 changing any associations ?	1101 (13337)

Actually a reg file that stops several different associations being reset . Not just pdfs & pics it seems, also the default browser etc :badpc: www.winhelponline.com w10_stop_reset_fileasso.zip	1101 (13337)
