Modifying Existing File Associations

[Gareth Owen]

Is it possible to change only specific shell verbs in file associations.

We have two applications, one that is associated with 'open' and another that is associated with 'properties'.

Both applications have seperate installers. When we install the second application it completely replaces the associations from the first.

Is it possible to just update the relevant shell verb without changing the other information?

Hi Gareth,

Yes, this is possible. Create the registry keys in each installer directly without using the Create File Type command. Directly write to the registry using the Write Registry command. Please consult your Shell documentation for information on which registry keys to manually create, or peek in your registry.
