Changing default applications, switching BIOS settings for newer distros, running an old Windows application in VirtualBox with a security dongle, and Live distro security with an overlay file.
Wrong Editor
Dear Professor Klaus Knopper: I am currently using the Xubuntu 14.10 operating system on my desktop at home. It is the AMD 64 architecture version. I have two user accounts on my OS: Administrator and Desktop User.
The problem that I have with my OS is that whenever I double-click on a plain/text file within the Administrator or Desktop User account, it always opens it with AbiWord rather than Mousepad. Can you explain why it does that in those accounts, with a plain/text file, when the default application to open it with is set to Mousepad and not to AbiWord?
Yours sincerely, Miss S Fox
