erased file associations

Overall, I'm really impressed by K-Meleon, but for now I just wanted to give it a short look and use Mozilla after that again. So, during installation it unchecked the box to open all html files with K-Meleon. One would assume that the file associations are untouched by K-Meleon now. But it erases them! After using K-Meleon for a while I noticed that in Windows Explorer all html filed have a blank icon instead of the Mozilla icon! That's quite bad.

Grr, the sentence "So, during installation it unchecked the box to open all html files with K-Meleon" should be "So, during installation _I_ unchecked the box to open all html files with K-Meleon" of course.

Strange...I did exactly the same thing, but file associations were retained.
Win95, K-Meleon0.5 (first install)

I had the same "problem" as Fabian.
I have:
Win98se
Mozilla 0.9.4 installed
K-Meleon v0.4 uninstalled before installing v0.5 (no reboot in between)(leuk om hier een "bekende" tegen te komen Erick :-)

Same as JanC, Win98SE and Mozilla 0.9.4. In the preferences of Mozilla 0.9.4 (Advanced - System) the option "Warn me If other application change these settings" (the wording may not be accurate) was disabled.

Has anyone had this problem who did NOT have Mozilla installed?

The problem is probably a bug in .4, which would incorrectly "reset" permissions on uninstallation.
