[tex-live] FW: TeX Live file associations

[Lars Madsen]

The values from before the installation

HKCU: nothing
HKLM: AcroExch.Document

If I create a file on the desktop and call it foo.pdf, it does get the normal Adobe Reader PDF icon

Thanks

This is what I can find after installing the TL


HKCU: TL.PSView.view.2012
HKLM: AcroExch.Document

plus

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf has the same value as HKCU

I'll roll it back to see what was before the installation
