1. Start with no Xnview references to it in registry.
2. Make the first and only association you make:
[x]Associate slide file with Xnview
3. Close Xnview.
4. Select unassociated image in MS explorer.
5. Now use MS explorer's Open with function to choose Xnview from list of programs.
6. *The bad key will now be associated with Xnview.

@Moti: According to Pierre, this problem has been solved in XnView 1.90. Which XnView version do you use?xnview ([url=http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=16903#16903]Can't view JPG file by using XnView[/url]) wrote:There is a bad key in registry, please remove -slide from:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xnview.exe\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" -slide "%1"
Correct is:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\xnview.exe\shell\open\command
"C:\Program Files\XnView\xnview.exe" "%1"

To solve the problem, you have to remove "-slide" in the appropriate registry value which is described in the same topic:xnview ([url=http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=16903#16903]Can't view JPG file by using XnView[/url]) wrote:There is a bad key in registry, please remove -slide from:

I've got the same versions of XNView and Windows, and reproduce the problem.Bob C. wrote:I just installed 1.93.6 on Windows 2000 Pro and had this same problem. The solution provided by Helmut above fixed it. Thanks.
But the problem is that i don't know how do you have that??? If i make a fresh install, i don't have this problemAnonymous wrote:This really should be fixed as part of the install..
every single user that I know complains about this when I first install.. and to need to go to registry is not good first impression.
