Registry problem
-
Hi, I am writing a C# component to make files associate with .exe and applications. The first part, with .exe is done by adding "shell\open\command" with the path of the .exe. But how about with applications? I want to know what has an application(e.g.winrar, winamp) with installer done to the registry. What information about the application is need to write a C# component to register a file extension associating with the application? Thanks

Run regedit. Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. All those first entries are file extensions, you can see there what info is stored to make it work. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
