I just updated DTL and lost file associations to .isos

I opened the program and told it to create the associations again, which it did, but the icon on the isos is wrong and when I double click to mount, it errors out and doesn't mount

I've tried manually choosing DTL to open an iso and same thing happens

Any ideas how I can get it associated correctly again ?

Usually the isos have the round lightening bolt icon, not the file shaped one as shown below

Please download this little app (no installation required): http://www.nirsoft.n...ypesman-x64.zip

Extract and start the app, highlight the .iso extension, then in the upper area right-click .iso -> Edit selected File Type

At 'Default icon' enter "C:\Program files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe,0"

While .iso is highlighted in the upper area right-click the 'open'-entry in the lower -> Edit selected Action

At 'Command-Line' enter "C:\Program files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe" -shellmount "%1" (with double quotes).

Reboot and check if Double click-mounting is working now.

Does it work if you associate with the built-in?

Yes and no, it associates but still gives the error

Yea thanks I found that and tried that already, it managed to get the correct icon again but same error when I double click

Actually following those instructions exactly completely broke it, changing the locations for ones that were really there got me where I am now

Try:

* running regedit

* delete HKCR\.iso DAEMON.Tools.Lite, delete it

* delete HKCR\DAEMON.Tools.Lite

* Run Daemon Tools Lite, untick integration, Apply, retick integration, Apply

... or don't... why do it by hand. Nirsoft has many good utilities, one of them being file type editor.

If you put in the wrong location for the app, then it will screw everything up, and omtting the speach marks will also screw things up as there is spaces in the path, copy and paste what I have put above into the required places.

I don't think its association that is the problem now, and DTL works fine if I drag an ISO to the gadget, its just the double click to mount that seems to point to something broken

I`ll give that reg trick a shot though thanks

Yea I used quotation marks "" and 1st I used the path given in the instructions, which broke everything, then I used the actual path and was back to square one only the correct ISO icons was displayed

Try:

* running regedit

* delete HKCR\.iso DAEMON.Tools.Lite, delete it

* delete HKCR\DAEMON.Tools.Lite

* Run Daemon Tools Lite, untick integration, Apply, retick integration, Apply

Beauty, the reg trick did it thanks :)

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
