Title: TimeShutDown and file association queries
Post by: skywalker on December 22, 2006, 10:57:21 PM
I am trying to determine why Time ShutDown v1.0 isn't working on XP. I install it with admin priviliges and it's writing to the registry correctly.

I installed another drive. I can't associate .asm files with qeditor on the added drive where qeditor resides.

Thanks.

As far as i am aware, file associations are system-wide, which basically means that they apply to all the drives on your system. The only problem i can conceive might be that qeditor is inaccessible to your system for some reason.

Hope this helps, Ehtyar.

Thanks.

I tried setting .asm to thegun.exe and it does associate.
When I try to open a file it says it can't find the file.

File assciation problem fixed using

FileExtInfo (Version 1.0)
Web Site: http://windowsxp.mvps.org
===========================================


FileExtInfo utility is a small helper application that gathers information about the association
settings for a chosen file type. It exports all possible registry locations that are associated with a
particular file type. The information (REG format) is consolidated and presented in a single text
file, to make troubleshooting easier.
