re: File association won't stick ?! Sunday, April 24, 2005 at 3:22 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by David (2 messages posted) Thanks for the ideas. When using the Folder Option applet, I get exactly the same misbehaviour . I've considered editing the registry, and have looked at the /HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications subkey, but it's not obvious to me what to change or add. If I look at the entry in that key for Excel.exe, for instance, I see nothing that appears related to the association with .xls ... the string "xls" does not even appear under that branch.
