[RESOLVED] Right-click on file - Need registry help

Hi everyone,

I just completed a .NET app that when you right-click on a tif file, it launches my program. It works great in Windows XP, but not in Windows 2000.

Why? Because I don't know what registry entry to make for a 2000 machine.

Here is the one that works for XP.....

Code:

---

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.tif\shell\myapp]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.tif\shell\myapp\command]
@="C:\\Program Files\\MyProgram\\myapp.exe \"%1\""

---

Any help is greatly appreciated. :D

Figured it out. I will post the reg keys later as I'm working on a deadline. Thx :D

Here is the info.


Actually, it's not that hard. You can create a right-click extension by using the Windows UI.....

Create a complex name, something like..... mycrazyShellExt.
Then just find the registry key using the registries search feature. Export the key, and you are all set.
