Hi Michael, When I start up MLCad (2.12) it shows the following dialog: MLCad is not (properly) registered for it's file types. Register it now? Even if I press YES, it still asks the next time I start it. Any ideas? I definitely have admin rights (...) (23 years ago, 13-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Just uncheck "register file type" in the -> Settings ->General -> Change-menu and the message won't appear again. Regards, Primus BuS LEGO Mechcommander: www.go.to/LegoMC Official Battletech Fan-site (23 years ago, 13-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

I'm trying to find the problem (if there is one). Because in my case MLCad only asks once, then never again. So I wonder if you start any other application registering for ldr or mpd file types?

(...) Enhancement suggestion: Consider a place, perhaps in settings, where you can ask MLCad to register filetypes "again". The way some programs do it, where they ask you each time they realise that they're not registered for a filetype is (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Not AFAIK. What other programs would be likely to register those file types? The only other programs I regularly use on the laptop are stuff like MS Office. Also, it continues to ask even if I just start MLcad, exit, and start it again immediately. (...) (23 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) OK I loaded ldraw / MLCad on the PC at my office (NT) and it does the same thing. This was a new install - never had it on that PC before. I looked in Explorer, and it has LDR & MPD registered as "MLCAD document". But it still asks me if I (...) (23 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) After a tip-off from Jamie O'brien, I've confirmed that the problem is that I have spaces in the path to MLCAD (I have it installed in c:\program files\mlcad on both PCs). When I put it in a path without spaces, it works fine. ROSCO (23 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Note that it sets the path OK in the registry, it just checking the registry entry on startup that fails. ROSCO (23 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) I was having the same problem you are Ross, but when I tried this suggestion: (URL) is fine! By the way, I never saw this register file types alert until I switched to XP. On Win98, this was asked once when I first installed the program and (...) (23 years ago, 17-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

There is a another problem on NT machines, if the user doesn't have admin rights. In such a case file-type registration failes totaly. Regards, Michael "Jake McKee" <sink@countersinkdg.com> wrote in message news:GuqJs4.LIK@lugnet.com... (...) (...) (23 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
