Default Figured it out ! - How to open a file with a program.

John,

While looking for the XP method I seem to have found the W7 method too:


It looks like I spoke too soon.

Those methods will *disable* that tickbox, meaning that you can't
(re)assign a filetype, even if you would want to ... :-(

Regards,
Rudy Wieser



At the very end of the article and before the ads and comments, it say:

"BONUS TIP: This tutorial can also be used in reverse condition. e.g. if
this checkbox is already disabled in your Windows and you want to enable it,
then you can remove the %2 mentioned in Method A or set value of DWORD value
to 0 as mentioned in Method B."

I haven't tried it, so cannot verify if it works or not.
