Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: File associations for MSO to LibreOffice -- Win8

HI :)
Ahah, then
+1
I like the idea of making use of the user-level choice.  Also i hadn't thought about the installer 
needing Admin (SuperUser to you Gnu&Linux people ;) ).  

I'm still struggling with the other side of this = how to set things for all users on a machine.  
Someone managed to stop his machine from being able to read Gifs and each time someone new logs in 
i have to right-click and fix.  Also with Firefox updates/upgrades people grumble about all the 
extra tabs they get informing them about all their add-ons.  So, while i need something opposite i 
do like it when people take an interest in configuring things to their own tastes (as long as it 
doesn't stuff-up everyone else but then LO wouldn't).  When people show me what they like i often 
learn.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
