Thread: File Types

Use the tree-view on the left and look at some of the surrounding documentation. I would also inspect existing entries in your registry for examples - like how .txt maps to notepad.exe etc..

I associated one of the file types with my application not from the regristry, but form a folder - Tools->Folder Options->File Types. I then looked at the registry to see what it had done, did the exact same thing with another file I want to associate but this time I copied the stuff in the registry, changing only the things that needed to be changed, such as the name. Of course, the first one worked but the second one did not. Here's what I've tried:
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.mona:

Code:

(Default) = (value not set)
Progid = mona_auto_file
          OpenWith List
                    (Default) = (value not set)
                     a = Program Name.exe
                     b = NOTEPAD.EXE
                     MRUlist = ab
           OpenWithProgids
                     (Default) = (value not set)
                     ft000001 = (zero-length binary value) //This is a REG_BINARY type
                     mona_auto_file= (zero-length binary value) //This is a REG_BINARY TYPE
                     File Type Description= (zero-length binary value) //This is a REG_BINARY type

Gosh, this is a pain. Any suggestions?

Well, I already tried that codeplug and it didn't really help...
