		<description><![CDATA[!!!ANSWER to this QUESTION!!!

Unfortunately, the original comment was lost when we switched comment systems. However, the solution is still here!

Option 2:
Download registry fix for the LNK file association &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/file-asso-fixes-for-windows-7/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and follow instructions on the page.

Briefly, unpack ZIP file, right-click REG file and select merge. Administrator rights required!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry! We recently switched our comment system and it looks like some comments were lost.

Option 2 is using a registry fix. You can find the fix &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.winhelponline.com/fileasso/lnkfix_vista.zip&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

Download the ZIP file, unpack, run the .reg file and when it asks to merge with registry, let it do that.

Good luck!]]></description>
