Double clicking file opens slideshow of directory

[shermand]

I am using XnView 1.92 on Windows 2000 SP4.
1. When I double click a file associated with XnView, the program:
(a) opens a full screen window. (In Tools>Options I have "Mode when starting with a file" set as "Normal".)
(b) shows a sequence of views of every file in the directory, with about 5-10 secs display time for each. I believe it should go straight to the file I double clicked.
2. If there are other files (e.g. .doc files) in the directory, I get a message to say, "Format of file ddd\fff.doc could not be determined." This happens even though, at the General ->Read/Write option I have ticked "Ignore Read Errors".

Hello ! Welcome aboard !

• That's an old fixed which makes its comeback, it seems.
- It's caused by an inoportune parameter -slide in the registry of Windows.

• Probably, the installer is the culprit, since those who don't use it for updates like myself
(using the ZIP archive) never got the issue.

• Please, verify the XnView registry keys with Regedit, and report that you'll find…
- Unfortunately, I don't remember where's the corrected *.reg file…

Kind regards,

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"

Note: Your program path may differ, keep your program path.
