why isn't there an option to associate files with XnView?

I think the option to associate files with this program is necessary, because when I associate files through the "open with... " option ijn Win2k and I enable the "always use..." option there it doesn't work. When I click on a picture, nothing happens and i have to use task manager to kill the xnview and I have to start it from the shortcut and browse to the picture!
If anyone has a solution to my prob, please e-mail me to
reddomester@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance!

Which system?
Perhaps you have something wrong in the registry?

I can manage around with a little help, but i'm not at work anymore. Before it used to work, but it stopped with this newer version. Is there any way to get an older version or can u help me get around this problem? I would greatly appreciate your help!

Hi Reddo!
Have you given XnVasso, the
Unofficial XnView file association manager, a go yet?

Perhaps you're seeing a registry problem reported here:

Are you confident using "Regedit"?

So XnView process starts when you click associated file? Then my bet is that the association are ok, but XnView is bugging. Try to rename xnview.ini in XnView installation directory and see if that helps.

Thanx guys, the registry thing might work, and i think i manage my way around the registry! If it doesn't then i'll try the ini thing!
