After installing it, do you have registry keys for xnview?
Yes i have but please be specific about the keys you mean. However did you try on x64? Not with 32bit.

I have tried on x64 too, works for me... If you start XnView (as admin), and in option/associations, you click on PNG (for example), close, and go again in options/associations, PNG is chacked?

Hi Pierre, thanks for your support. Running as admin did it! I think UAC had blocked XnView "silently".

The question is: Why UAC didn't pop-up if XnView tried to assoicate file types, i would certainly allow it, but it didn't ask me, just blocked!

Starting XnView as administrator for once is enough!
