1.98.7, can't set File Association

[Attacker]

Windows 7 x64 SP1
XnView Full 1.98.7

A newly installed Windows 7
I found it failed to set XnXiew to associate with image files such as jpeg, bmp, gif

[xnview]

You need to start XnView with admin rights to be able to change associations

Of course I did it
but it didn't work as the earlier version

The following is JPEG's file association in Registry, as an example
after I run XnView in Admin rights and set file associations

Which version do you had? 1.98.5?

Every version, including 1.98.5
I have used XnView for several years
and I always use the latest version
and they all seem OK in file association

[xnview]

Ok, a new bug related to this fix
