Cool that you've fixed your problem.

Strange that such an old hotfix that will've been long since rolled up into service packs and (should) have been applied at source since Vista, should suddenly reappear in 7. And only for some people.

Even weirder is that registry key does not exist on my machine, but I have never seen the problem. And I run all my scripts via the associations. IF the key was there by default and something was deleting it on afflicted machines, it would make sense. But the need to add it -- only on afflicted machines -- is just downright nonsensical.

There is still something more to this problem to be discovered. The only suspect I have at the moment is Strawberry Perl which I have never installed on this machine, but that is tenuous at best.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
