File Association War Edit Meaning

1.

when programs on your computer declare war on each other, stealing each other's default filetypes (like video being opened by quicktime, itunes, windows media player, or VLC). They keep fighting over them, driving the user crazy.

Aargh! My programs are in a file association war. First realplayer opens mp3 files, then itunes, then windows media player! Make them stop!!!
