Nice little program Gunner. I'm always fiddling with file types and associations. Now it needs to handle multiple associations, deal with verbs like open, edit etc.

Thank you.  I too am always fiddling with that stuff and didn't like: manually editing the registry; explorers extension dialogs and no programs out there did what I wanted.

The multiple associations and verbs will be added in the future.

I'm using Creativelement Powertools. It's a swiss knife program.  One of the many functions is 100% file type control. It supports all windows versions.

You could use it to check the registry changes it does.
