What is this registry root key value?

[Guest Sal]

Root key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT has the value:

 

ab(default) REG_SZ PHP File

 

None of the other root keys have a value (value not set). Can someone

explain what this key value means?

 

I have a feeling it's related to some problems I've been having with

the .php file extension which I set with the following cmd line

commands:

 

assoc .php=PHPScript

ftype PHPScript="C:\php\php.exe" "%1" %*

 

If I try to break the association with

 

ftype PHPScript=

 

I get an error: "File type 'PHPScript' not found or no open command

associated with it."

 

I realize I can just go into the registry and delete the key, but I

like to understand what I'm doing first.
