    Installing Windows updates changes file assoc.


    I just installed an update of Windows 7, and the file association for .jpg (and probably other file types) changed from my setting (XnView) back to Microsoft Photo Editor. This has happened before, but I never knew why.

    Has this happened to anyone else, and what can I do about it?

    Thanks,

    Yes, 32-bit.

    Updates were

    Malicious software removal tool
    Security update for Windows 7
    Security update for Microsoft Office XP [I have Office 2000]
