    Re: Registering file types —Michael Lachmann
   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?

        Re: Registering file types —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) 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)
   
        Re: Registering file types —Ross Crawford
     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)

        Re: Registering file types —Ross Crawford
   (...) 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)

        Re: Registering file types —Ross Crawford
     (...) 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)

        Re: Registering file types —Michael Lachmann
   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.
