In our program the users can double click on a list of files and we
shellexecute "open" to open the file. One customer has one windows 2000
workstation out of six that is having problems where the file isn't
opening. We get back an error saying "no program associated". However if
we double click the file in windows explorer it opens fine. We found
many copies of shell32.dll on the computer and so we removed all but the
one in winnt\system32 folder and one in the folder
winnt\system32\$ntuninstallkb890047.
After doing that now that workstation can open most files from within
our program except .PDF files.
No other workstations have the KB890047 security patch installed.
Any ideas? Our application is written in D6.
