Reg extentions?

[Evan]

This is what I want..

Say.. I goto the explorer.. and I get to a file that I want to open. I right click and on EVERY file I right click there is a option that says 'Shell Open'.
This option will link to my program.. Is there a easy way to add my file extention to ALL extentions on the computer?

You would have to change the file association for every extension on the computer. That may piss some people off.

You can write a DLL (I've done it in C, not VB) that will add a menu item to every file type. It is called a shell extention. Search the MSDN for examples and explanations.

There is a general key that adds to most extensions...
Sorry I don't know where...
But I'll look at get back to you

There is a key to do that. I dont know where either.
That was what I wanted.

There is also a key to make all unknown extentions
open in a program. Anyone know that one?

And it would really screw things up if you change the default association, particurally for EXEs.

I figured it out my self!!!
THis is the key and value I made.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Shh\command
(Default) = "C:\WINDOWS\ShellOpen.exe" "%1"

Shh is what the option will say. =)
