Serious IconPackager problem on Vista

Default app settings messed up - cannot undo

Published on October 22, 2007 By KenzieDamage In IconPackager

I've run into a serious problem when applying packages in IP (current version) on Vista (Hone Premium), it is screwing up my app preferences.

My start menu defaults have gotten messed up, I no longer get the second line of text for the internet and email items (should be IE and Outlook), see pic for what I mean...

When I go into the set associations option, I get the following problem with all the programs that could take the default (IE, firefox, outlook, live mail, windows mail, opera)

This happens any time I apply a package, and if I don't catch it in time with system restore, the only way I've been able to undo this is by a complete OS reinstall.

I have this same problem, but I those keys aren't in my registry. Here's what I mean:

When I click on one of them, I get this message:

I already messed around with the program defaults and such, and no luck. I even uninstalled IP and it still didn't fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem, and reinstalling my internet browser and email client did not work. Switching default clients makes the links work for the new defaults, but resetting the defaults back brings back the problem.
