Hmm, I thought so too. I did that before resorting to the PC companion, and it didn't seem to do it. But maybe it didn't shut down cleanly... it's sometimes hard to tell, and the reason I started the whole process was because it was starting to act funny (*) I also noticed the PC companion adds its own settings, like the Inbox login etc. (Will the Inbox ever be used for anything? )

(*) Like locking up after a few minutes of inactivity (i.e. related to the power management?) I re-installed 1.6 too, for good measure.

PS: The problem of deleting the dr1000.ini file is that you also use the stylus calibration data and the icons you dragged to your toolbar. So better rename the dr1000.ini file so you will be able to merge-back the parts that you want to keep, incase you want to delete your dr1000.ini file (which I do not advice )
That's the reason I did it in the first place: I redid every setting, incl. calibration, without the card inserted and I wanted to make sure it would write those values back into a fresh dr1000.ini. Anyway, the ability to re-assign the file associations is a great find.
