File Type Settings

August 28, 2008

Can anyone explain why the changes I make to settings for certain file types

revert to their original settings. Specifically, I uncheck DDE on

URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol, but it doesn't remain unchecked. Thanks.

Re: File Type Settings

If I understand this correctly - you cannot selectively deselect DDE for

items you may wish for. With a bit of digging under the hood of the OS, you

should (I understand) be able to completely turn off the feature - which

essentially would be the equivalent of undermining the entire safety system

that modern Windows versions are built upon.

Pay a visit to the MS Knowledge Base and you should find some good articles

on the subject, and our own Charlie's Blog may have something to say about

it too?
