Every time Internet Explorer is updated it keeps re-associating Internet
Explorer with XML file extensions. This is extremely annoying and I am
getting really tired of changing the file association after every IE update.
Please do not change file associations during IE updates.

Hi Mat,

Changed from what to which?

There are plenty of non-MS applications that change file associations.

Is IE set as your default web browser?

Regards.
