Just a question, Starshine, does the same problem come up while using an account other than the one in which you are having a problem now?

Posted: **Tue Jun 17, 2014 11:50 am**

The issue is probably NOT with qBitTorrent then, but with the permissions assigned to the key in the registry hive, evidently the changes are not propagating to the "Machine Config" correctly when you shut the machine down. Running qBT with elevated permissions should allow this to happen but in this case appears to be failing.

Try:
Log on to the machine as the Administrator, (you may/will need to enable the account first http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/libr ... 10%29.aspx), then set the file associations so the changes should then propagate to the root keys in HKLM_LOCAL_MACHINE rather than remaining ephemeral in HKLM_CURRENT_USER.

Disable the Administrator user and reboot and login to your profile to see if the changes have become permanent and system wide.

OR
Booting into "Safe mode", then shut down and restart (not just restart) normally so the machine configuration data is refreshed can correct some of the annoying, but minor Windows 'issue' that creep in after the machine has been in use for several months.

Then let's work through the other checks the code performs before displaying that messagebox.

Is there a .torrent key under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" in the registry? If yes, what is the value of its "default" entry?
Also under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/qBittorrent/shell/open/command" what is the value of the "default" entry?
Under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/qBittorrent/DefaultIcon" what is the value of the "default" entry?
Under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Magnet/shell/open/command/Default" what is the value of the "default" entry?

I think, the correct values to all?

The next question is if your qbittorrent actually exists in the exact same path shown in the pics?

Posted: **Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:38 pm**

Also are these keys present?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.torrent
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\magnet/shell/open/command

If yes, what is the value of their "(Default)" key?

I see your thinking and it definitely makes sense to try. I actually expected a change, but no.
I did both these things, but the problem still remains..... The Administrator did not get prompted about associating the files though.

[/quote]
Yes, I have another user whose account is linked to a Live account (my normal user is local)
This user also gets prompted about file association.

Yes, that's where it is. Default path.

Not, these keys are not present in HKCU\Software\Classes!

@starshine

can you run this build? ->http://builds.shiki.hu/temp/qbittorrent ... _setup.exe

It logs some stuff in a file called "qbt-log.txt" on your desktop. Launch it, close it and then copy the contents of the file here or on pastebin.

Thanks! Ok, here it goes:

I think ciaobaby might be on to something too, regarding ownership in the Registry, got a message about it when uninstalling a program. I haven't deliberately changed it, but it might be corrupt, or I might have done something unintentional. Going to check with a tool from Microsoft, later when I can read the documentation for it. subinacl.msi

All usual Microsoft scans come up with a clean bill of health though.

You can use "regedt32.exe" which is the 'advanced' registry editor (usual warnings apply) to check/edit the permissions that are applied to the various keys and sections.

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2014 3:55 pm**

Please share your qbittorrent.ini too.
You seem to have either "Win32\NeverCheckFileAssocation=false" or that line not being present in the file.

Thanks! I will check that up after I had a chance to clone my C:drive as a precautionary measure. I really am not that great with the Registry, so I don't know what the values are supposed to be in terms of ownership.

This is your problem.

You must create it as I said under [Preferences] eg:

[Preferences]
Win32\NeverCheckFileAssocation=true
General\Locale=en_GB
ExecutionLog\enabled=false
General\AlternatingRowColors=true
blah blah

Posted: **Thu Jun 19, 2014 11:09 pm**

Yes! That did the trick!
I really don't know why it's in there with square brackets rather than backslash.... !
But now the prompt is gone!

Thanks a lot Sledgehammer!
