![]() ![]() You have to open Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - File Types and look at the list of registered file types. They are not logged in the installation log file and so are not removed by the uninstaller when it undos the actions of the installation process. Nearly all uninstallers do not uninstall registry entries or files created by the installed program itself at first start of it or later during the work with it. I have not seen till now any uninstaller which is able to uninstall files and registry keys not created by the installer. The user made assignments will work immediately after the new installation again.īut if the user installs the program into a different directory or wants to open the file with extension ? with a different program, he must fix the assignment always manually. Well, this is fine if a user uninstalls the program and installs a newer version into the same directory. For example if you decide once to open a file with an extension not associated with any program and choose a program for open it, but disable the option to always open it with this program, Windows XP still records it and at the next time you try to open again a file with this still not registered extension it suggests you the program you have used once.Īlso it is a known problem that NO uninstaller removes file assignments done by the user itself (and most also for the assignments done by the program itself). I think the keys you post here are from such automatic Windows records or from your user made assignments. Windows, especially Windows XP, tracks and records many (nearly all) user actions in the registry. I think, it is not a problem of the uninstall and install process. About the only thing I thought strange was Windows was trying to access the old area where I had installed UltraEdit: Tried Filemon but can't make much sense of it. In fact, in the file associations menu - if I click on a file type already in there neither is the 'delete' button highlighted. sas into FileTypes box but the 'add' button isn't highlighted. In UltraEdit: configuration/file associations - type.Right click on file in Windows Explorer/open with/Choose program : UltraEdit not listed and even if I browse
