Default Programs Editor 2.1 Update

Change log for Version 2.1.1157.2113 (August 25th, 2009)

+ Multiple instances of the program should now safely coincide, but this is not particularly recommended.

+ For registry links, the delay between navigation messages to regedit was extended a bit for users on slower systems

Crashes Fixed:
– Toggling the “Show ‘Jump to registry key’ links” when more than one instance of the program was open is fixed.
– Internally, malformed resource identifier strings are now traced and reported instead of crashing during conversion to numeric id.
– If Default Programs associations cannot be changed, the program will now display a message.
– It is now possible to set a newly created context menu item as default successfully as expected.
