IMO this would make it be more general, i.e not as prone to hit this particular problem nor some other. I find it irritating that installers do things that I have NOT asked for (in this case associate an application with a certain extension). Hunting down these little pesky things takes more time than it is worth. I still DO it at times, when I feel like 'killing' something. (Just another form of 'bugswatting' I believe `:-} ) Many times removing the application doesn't clean up the mess. At times I do use backups the means to keep a 'irritation clean' system. Not this time though (huge backup size expected, only CDR's to backup to). /Hannu E K Nevalainen, 59~14'N, 17~12'E. 25~C in the sun right now. ~ <=> degree --END OF MESSAGE-- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
