[emphasis added] But that's not what you are doing when you log into the Administrator account. You are not elevating the privileges in *your* user account. You are logging into a separate, unrelated account. User accounts do not share user settings. They do not share file associations. When you save settings or change file associations in the Administrator account (or any other account) it should never affect settings or associations in your own account. They are completely separate accounts. Could you try what two of us have suggested? Stop logging out and logging into a different account. Instead, run Komodo with elevated privileges in your own account. Make sure Komodo is not already running, then find it in your Start menu (e.g. type "ko" and it will find it fast for you), right click it, and select "Run as administrator". Then you can apply your Windows settings in Komodo. Exit out of Komodo when you're done, then restart it in your normal user mode. All should be good. -Mike On Sun, Mar 4, 2012 at 6:09 PM, Gregory M.
