Hi folks, KDE 3.0.5a-4 RH 8.0 I have following settings set on; Control Center -> Index -> File Browsing -> File Associations -> Known Types -> x-msword On General tag Filename patters = *.doc Application Preference Order = OpenOffice.Org Writer On Embedding tag Left click action = check "Show file in separate viewer" Services Preference Order = Netscape plugin viewer I can start a xxx.doc with OO writer on separate window by clicking the former on Konqueror (home) However after reboot (or logout and relogin) the above setting changed automatically as; On General tag Filename patters = *.doc and *.dot (changed) On Embedding tag Left click action = check "Show file in embedded viewer" (changed) Still I can start a xxx.doc with OO writer by clicking it on Konqueror (home) but in the same window, i.e. inside Konqueror. I repeated reconfiguring the above settings many times but with the same result, i.e. the settings changed automatically after reboot. Kindly advise how to fix the problem. TIA B.R.
