File association issue
Submitted by ddmoore on Wednesday, 10 June, 2009 - 19:38
I'm a new user of jEdit 4.3. After installing jEdit, I found that I can no longer use links for Microsoft Live Meeting. The link is to a file called launch[1].rtc. When I click on a LiveMeeting link, jEdit opens up with the XML for connecting to the meeting rather than LiveMeeting opening up. This behavior suggests that there is a problem with file associations. However, when I check the file associations the .rtc files are associated to LiveMeeting in the registry as well as "File Types" under Folder Options. Uninstalling jEdit resolves the issue. Before permanently uinstalling jEdit and looking for another editor, I thought I would see if anyone has stumbled upon this issue or perhaps knows if jEdit has it's own set of file associations.

You're not the first one who is seeing such a weired behavior.

Unfortunately I can't understand it. AFAIK the only association that jEdit creates is one for all files (classes root "*"). However, You've said it already: the original association for Your special file type isn't changed - at least You can't find a change in the registry.

I have one PC at office where a double click on a .txt file starts VMware player. But the registry seems to associate .txt files to an editor. And this PC is about 95% identical to some others, where the association works as expected...

Did You try regclean.exe?
