This works for me:

1.     Exit Komodo

2.     Right click on your Komodo shortcut/icon/start menu entry and
select 'Run as Administrator'

3.     Go to preferences and edit your settings, click apply

4.     Exit, then start Komodo normally

I also had an issue where the MSI didn't correctly request admin rights
on double clicking but I'm not sure which version that was, now I just
start all MSI files from a command prompt which I've done the 'Run as
Administrator' thing on.

Komodores!

I'm having a problem associating Komodo (7.0.1) with file extensions on
my Windows 7 machine. I see both bug 80777
<http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D80777>  (can't associate
extension with Komodo using Windows' "Open with" dialog) and the problem
reported in this forum thread
<http://support.activestate.com/forum-topic/file-associations>  (setting
associations from Komodo's Windows Integration prefpane throws "access
is denied").

Suggested workarounds in the bug and thread are some complex registry
hacking, which seems prohibitively hard for all the extensions I want to
associate (i.e. all of them), and setting associations in Komodo while
running it as an administrator, which apparently had some negative
consequences for the guy who tried it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for simpler workarounds or fixes?
