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

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

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

Ok, a new bug related to this fix
