Bug ID: 44555
Summary: Native windows file associations (not Linux's) are
automatically replaced with winebrowser
Product: Wine
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown

Hi there.
So I want to open image files with a Windows application, e.g. Microsoft Photo
Editor, provided by Office 97.
After installation, the file association is created in the registry. Thus, a
key is written in the entry 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pngfile\shell\open\command' with
the value 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\PhotoEd\PhotoEd.exe
"%1"'.
With this registry configuration, the wine-extension-png.desktop file which
runs 'wine start /ProgIDOpen pngfile %f' properly opens files with Microsoft
Photo Editor from the Linux file manager.
In certain conditions, such as after a wine update, a 'The configuration in
($WINEPREFIX) is being updated, please wait...' dialog box appears and, from
then on, the value of the key I mentioned above is changed back to '"C:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -nohome'.
Therefore, 'wine start /ProgIDOpen pngfile %f' does no longer open Microsoft
Photo Editor, but winebrowser.
I would like not to have my file associations replaced anytime wine wants to.
