Re: Where in registry is file association data?

 

click on start>run>regedit

 

then use the file menu option

to find and search for something

like .html

 

it will take you to that area

you need to find.

 

sometime it is necessary to

delete the key to a particular

extension that is dysfunctional.

 

then you can recreate it via

the folder options method.

ps: don't forget

to make a system

restore point before

tweaking the registry.

 

it's simple insurance

that will protect your

system from accidental

modifications.

Re: Where in registry is file association data?

 

Added info: Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: assoc

 

Copy the line for the association you wish to restore. A Command Prompt

window will open. Right click in this Window and select Paste. Then press

Enter.

 

~~~

 

ASSOC [.ext[=[fileType]]]

 

..ext = Specifies the file extension to associate the file type with

fileType = Specifies the file type to associate with the file extension

 

Type ASSOC without parameters to display the current file associations. If

ASSOC is invoked with just a file extension, it displays the current file

association for that file extension. Specify nothing for the file type and

the command will delete the association for the file extension.
