Windows 7 - Files association

#1 Post by Xorty » 06.07.2010, 16:00

Hello FreeCommander users!
I have too many programs associated with files. Windows can show only some of them, but FreeCommander shows other. I mean when I right click on file I have few options, but I can't see for example zip/sevenzip file, scan with antivirus etc. I can see these in windows explorer.

Is there any way how to manually setup file associations after right mouse click?
I am including picture that explain my problem (look it's on same file). Windows Explorer can show f.e. 7Zip, Notepad++, Microsoft Security Essentials ...

Don't know about MSE, but 7zip and Notepad++ both have x64 and x86 shell extensions that may be registered simultaneously.

Would it make more sense if it opens the doc with the app whose icon you are about to lose that MacOS has done forever? It allows you to select the application you want to open this doc. If the file association to say, a JPEG picture viewer, but you want to open it with Gimp, you drag the icon in Gimp, but it does not change the file association.

To determine which application will run when you double-click a file icon, Windows Vista uses the familiar file extension system made famous (infamous) in earlier versions of Windows. And just like the previous versions of the operating system, figuring out how to change a file extension association in Windows Vista can be a little frustrating if you don't know where to look.
