change file associations using FC?

[ottenm]

Sorry if this is obvious, but is there a way to change file associations through Free Commander? (the thing in explorer under Tools | Folder Options | File Types).

If not, thanks for any suggestions. FC is so sweet, I just hate launching explorer anymore.

I don't think it's possible, but you can use the Control panel icon in FC - item Folder Options.

Define a shortcut for "Extras - open with...".

I apologize for my lameness, but I have searched around and can't get a handle on:

Define a shortcut for "Extras - open with...".

Any tips/leads?

You can define a shortcut in FC for getting the windows-dialog "open with ..." .

• Extras
  Keyboard shortcuts ...
  Commands: Extras - open with... ("Extras" at the end of the list/not alphabetical)
  New Shortcut: Whatever you want
  Assign
  Save
  OK

If you now want to open a filetype with another program, you mark the file, use your shortcut and chose the program for opening the file (always open with...)

Schwing!

Thanks a lot ralfso, awesome.

Alternatively, you can right click the file and choose the open with.. from there.

Uh, like, that's just too pathetically obvious there clanman.

I'd like to delete this thread so my children aren't profiled into disadvantaged schools.

Thanks.
