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,

Hans L
