How to register file type with windows
Hello all,
My application creates a file using a proprietary format... Let's say something like "myFile.stan". My question is, how do I register this filetype (.stan) with windows so that when someone double-click on the file, windows will open it with my application? This application will be distributed as standalone exe file (no installation). I've seen some applications that do the same thing. The users just have to copy the exe file to some directory in their local harddrive and run it once. It then will register in windows. After that, the users can double-click on any of its files and the program will launch and open that file.
Thanks for any guidance/inputs.
