REG Keys for WinRAR file Associations?

[Chris Lee]

I have the Settings.reg which is used to edit and import the settings of Winrar, however, it does not register File types such as rar or associate with ZIP.

I think the associations are located in "HKEY_Classes_root" but am not sure. How can I get winrar to associate itself with all the file types in can except iso?

Thanks.

Try the attached file

WinrarFileTypes.reg

I would assoc those files after installation of WinRAR.

Dump this in a batch file;

assoc .rar=WinRAR

assoc .r01=WinRAR

assoc .xxx=WinRAR

With the extentions you want of course.

that wont work as the file type is shown as winrar archive then but it wont open up with winrar. at least this was the case for me.

It should work this way though. At least thats what assoc is for. Maybe you did something wrong?

I want to be able to choose my associations, I do not want all of them associated, as I have some programs that take care of some of them.

I do install Winrar with /s switch.

well, you could always install on your pc, and then set it how you want it, through options, settings, then after done, goto options, export, and itll save it as settings.reg, if you copy that over to your winrar dir, and open winrar, itll automatically import your settings...and then everything is set, its all associated and everything.

I did use settings.reg, nothing happened..it was checked (formats menu) and everything looked right, but no association.

dont register it...just have it in the folder, when you open winrar, itll say settings imported.
