Br4tt3 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Hi!I dunno for sure.. but reading the registry: (following key)HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\Below this key, u will find for example each known file association, for each file ending there is a value:Content Type - RegSZ - application/<application>For example, my HKLM\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.doc which one would expect to be associated with Word reads:Content Type - RegSZ - application/mswordShould be easy to test if this is the place to do it.... prolly could do this using read load or something!

Ctrl-X Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Check out the internal ASSOC command:Displays or modifies file extension associationsASSOC [.ext[=[fileType]]] .ext Specifies the file extension to associate the file type with fileType Specifies the file type to associate with the file extensionType ASSOC without parameters to display the current file associations.If ASSOC is invoked with just a file extension, it displays the currentfile association for that file extension. Specify nothing for the filetype and the command will delete the association for the file extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
