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

Beauty, the reg trick did it thanks :)

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2

      JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.

      Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.

      You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.

      I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
