Potential Bug when opening certain files.

[Suneel Jhangiani]

I have noticed that when opening script / code files
(.JS, .CS, .VB) using right click, open with, Notepad (or
other applications), for the first time, that we get
given a MS Antispyware alert (An Unknown Script File
Attempting to Run Requires Approval). On approving the
file is not opened by the application chosen in 'Open
with' but the default application assigned for the file
type. Subsequent attempts don't have this issue if you
ensure the 'Remember this action' checkbox is checked.

This is particularly annoying when you try to open a VB
or CS file in notepad and end up seeing Visual Studio
start-up.

FYI:

Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.501
This version expires on: 31/07/2005

Suneel.
