You posted this in another forum. Don't cross-post. For that matter, there was already a booting-XP-on-Intel-Macs discussion in the Lounge. Read the rules already.

Let's end this here. This is NOT an Applications issue anyway. It's about the OS, and it's already been done to death in the OS forum.

This is a security warning to prevent e.g. trojans from launching a malware application without your knowledge. You don't want to disable it. If you are getting this warning every …

This happens from clean installs and those that have their launch services database cleared the link from document to application survives a logout but not a restart. I know it is …
