Hi To associate a file extension to your program, you should create a registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER -->Software -->Microsoft -->Windows -->CurrentVersion -->Explorer -->FileExts. 1. Under FileExts create a key with same name as your file extension. (Eg: For bitmap files you can find a key named .bmp under FileExts.) 2. Also create a subkey named "OpenWithlist". 3. Add a string value named "a". 4. Set the value data of this key as your application path. (Eg: for paint you can find the entry mspaint.exe as value data) Mahesh

Hi Sorry i made a mistake. 1. Under the FileExt key, add a string value named "Application". 2. Set the value data of this string value as your application path. (Eg. For .bmp you can see this value as mspaint.exe) Mahesh
