Hey, many thanks for your excellent (and detailed) reply, Rik. I'm glad to see someone else is as upset as I am by this POOR PROGRAMMING by NCH's developers. But what a shame that NCH have not bothered to make any effort to reply themselves. Unfortunately I'm not as computer savvy as you are, so I doubt I'll ever get rid of all the mess that NCH has made of my machine. NCH - shame on you. I doubt you care at all, but it does meant that you've lost at least two sales of the licenced version (to Rik and me).

Also... When I am in Windows Explorer "Folder Options" removing all these unwanted file associations, I now keep seeing various NCH programs in the "Advanced" section and thus in the right click menus; AND the NCH programs have been made the "Default" programs as far as Windows is concerned. I would prefer not to have to uninstall EVERY NCH program, but I will do if that's the only way to undo these unwanted changes.

I recently installed the WaveLab program and "Switch" seems to have come with it... Now I find that Switch has stolen all my VIDEO file associations, so that, for example, all .MOV .MMV .MPG files are opening Switch instead of my normal media players. I don't remember seeing any options during the install process, asking whether or not to make these new associations; and as well as being annoying, I can't even see WHY it was done, as Switch can't even play them, only convert the audio portion. Now I find there is no way in Switch's own options dialogue to choose which files it should associate with, so it looks like I have to undo all the changes laboriously one-by-one in Windows own "Folder Options", which is really slow and clanky. WHY did Switch do this, please??????
