[Maf] FW: disabling Extensions didn't work

Hi Rob,

The %1 is actually needed or the auto-open would not work at all. So the
string for the open verb would be 
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" %1 

There is an option in Maf Preferences > Windows options that can
automatically register the new file associations. Have you tried that?
