Ahaem, do not think I'm that stupid! I talked about 2 different things, the one was that if you wanna enable the user to doubleclick on a filetype to open your app, you need to modify the registry, the second thing i asked was where he is saving his xml-settings file. - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

You're the one who mentioned double-clicking on a settings file, something not typically done since the application is supposed to provide a UI for customization. Who cares if the extension has an association in the registry for it? Do .config files after installing the .NET Framework / SDK? (only after VS.NET) They have an associated icon but no supported verbs. Do .manifest files (also XML)? They also have an icon association but no supported verbs. A "settings" file is not really a document to be opened and should not be treated as such, so use whatever format you want.

Well, learn to read! I wrote: But thats not always possible, what if you wanna make it possible for a user to doubleclick on a specific filetype, and open it in your app? Then you need to make changes in the registry Oh BTW, where do you save the xml-files which holds the settings? Where does I mention doubleclicking on the configfile? doubleclick on a specific filetype, thats not a configfile I'm talking about...

Learn to interpret. He was talking about how he stores settings in an XML file as opposed to an INI file. You continued the thread without specifying what sort of documents to which you were referring, so that implies you were referring to the same file types: configuration files. If that's not correct, learn to write.

As I said before, I talked about needing to set stuff in the registry when assosiating a file extension with your app... Well, if you dont read that well, I have no intension what so ever to waste more time talking to you about this subject! - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
