Hi everyone,

Has anyone got any idea how to put the path+executable name in the open with list used by windows to open the program ?

I tried deleting the openwithlist from registry and re-write it with :

Write Registry Key HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\FileExts\\.fileextension\\OpenWithList\\, "$TARGETDIR$\\test.exe"

or

Write Registry Key HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\FileExts\\.fileextension\\OpenWithList\\, "$TARGETDIR$\\test.exe" "%1"

but still cannot see the program in the open with list when right click on the relevant file.


Many thanks

Wouldn't this be as simple as going to Design -> Setup Architecture -> File Associations and register the extension and corresponding .exe there?
