Why the hell would wine think that I would want to use the hideous Notepad editor when just about any Linux editor is better I just don't know. It also associates images with 'Internet Explorer' yuk. I only install wine so I can use mp3DirectCut. Seems to me that there are no etiquette rules to be followed and no matter what you install it just feels it is free to screw with current associations. Does anyone know if there are any rules and they are just plain ignored or is it an association free-for-all. Clive -- Infinity: A concept for those who cannot comprehend the big picture.
