Re: Register Extension blur me

The Mike code is very good.. but is not enough for me, not all icons are
refreshed,
after notify with SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_IDLIST, 0, 0);
not even reboot helps.

So I send another notify:
the: SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED, SHCNF_FLUSH, 0, 0);
and the refresh works fine without reboot also.

Then the problem was the popupmenu Open and double-click start - still
previous program starts!

I solve the problem by setup keys also in to the below reg. key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExt
s\
and now works fine!

My question is, what that key do? and is it back compatible?
Because, I can find anything about on Internet...

Thanx... I tray that code, is fine for new extension...
But I have problems with re:registering an already associated ext.

After associating and Shell Notify, I look at keys and they are ok, right
pointed to my prog.

But when I double click or open the file associated then it still opens
in a old progarm, also after reboot...

And the strage thing is that some extensions work right and the other
not.
I also add shell notify flush and wait until notifying is complete.
I acheive some better results but it not helps.

You probably misunderstood Mike's code

Inspect how WinZip does it - in the Registry
Also: My Computer, View, Options, File Types

Also the parameter %1 is best wrapped as "%1" to handle spaces in
file names
