Hi Paul
Just read this link and the consensus seems to be that any registry hacks will just be overwritten.
As several people said, defaults are often reset even though you haven't opened a file of that type.
For example, I haven't opened an AVI file in weeks but it reset the default.
I don't even know what it was before...
As for PDFs being reset to Edge, that's not even my default browser.
I currently use Chrome and before that Firefox.
The browser itself never gets reset which I guess is because of that court ruling a few years back.
I also get endless pop ups telling me Edge is 1 zillion % faster, cleaner, smarter and prettier than other browsers. Maybe it doesn't mention Pale Moon because like me MS hasn't heard of it ...
For info, the postcode database has, at my request, been updated removing spaces from all field names. I've updated both the postcode and addresses databases in the sample db area in line with those changes. Updates currently awaiting moderator approval.
As ever, thanks for your help.
