Bo, I thought again about that, and I do not think I agree with you.
Can you think of a single case where the user has a real windows
application to view a format and this format is not declared in
windows already?

I can think of many such example in windows. Indeed even when you remove an application, the association of the extension with that application is not removed. Then when you double-click on a file with that extension, windows will try to find the application and offer you to associate it with a manually selected application.

I do not think people should be encouraged to change from within LyX
something that is actually a global windows setting.

I think Bo's patch delegate that to Windows actually (no sure of that).


Abdel.
