Remarks

Associating an application with a file extension

To associate an application with a file extension via the registry, you must create the following keys:
  • "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ext":
    where ext is the extension.
    The default value corresponds to the type of file (free string).
  • "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\type_name":
    where type_name is the name of the type given to the extension.
    The default value corresponds to the description that will be displayed in the "Type" column of the Windows explorer.
  • "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\type_name\shell\open\command":
    The default value is the command that will be run by ShellExecute on this type of file. In the command line, the %1 string will be replaced by the path of the file.
