<div id="yiv1204898502"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;"><div>I applied an update last night and now most of the file associations are gone. Most icons are gone from the shell. The desktop background images are not recognized (I cannot even browse back to them, since it no longer recognizes any image formats (JPG, etc). I tried to open a JPG in image viewer and it won't. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Any help /advise would be greatly appreciated. I'm assuming it was a bad RPM in the updates.
