VB on Windows 7 - messes up default open behavior

Post by Ztruker »

Running VB under Windows 7 RC1. Every time I use VB to launch a virtual guest (Win XP Pro, Ubuntu or openSUSE so far), the default action (double click) for opening drives and folders is getting messed up, so instead of opening the drive or folder for viewing, it opens the Properties dialog. If I reboot then all is well until I run VB again, then the same thing happens.

Anyone else seen this? Any fix or easy way to fix it without rebooting?

I using the latest release, 3.0.4r50677
