Don't worry about it. It isn't a bug with file associations, it's just that Nero likes to take the .dat file association as its own. There are other programs as well as some of the registry files that also use files with .dat extensions but it doesn't bother these other programs that Nero thinks it should be the default application for the files.

Hi all,
This week, while servicing the folks PC, I noticed that the icon for Nero 6 Media player (green circle with a silver > arrow), has made itself the default icon for all of their systems *.dat files. On doing a file search for *.dat file type - Search listed about 375 dat files that report themselves being a nero mediaplayer media file.
While it appears harmless enough I suppose; their PC runs fine - has anyone else here encountered a similar problem with Nero - or other programs doing this? If so, is there a solution or work around to correct the problem or is it a bug within file type associations?
