I'm not familiar with ATI MM Center... do they have their own file types
option in their preferences?
If you send me mail at zachd at microsoft dot com , I'll help get you
through the GroupPrivacyAcceptance thing. Not too hard, but you have some
info about the bug you're experiencing that I would love to have.
Good question, tough problem. =\
