It's a very odd thing to complain about though. A ton of file types 
couldn't be opened before and suddenly they are, so DFS is unhappy about 
it. If there is an application he would prefer to use to open those 
formats, he is free to install it and then change the defaults to that 
application by going into those settings, finding the application and 
allowing it to manage all supported formats. He's grasping at straws at 
this point.
