Custom file types.
Hello everyone. I'm my department's desktop admin. and have spent about a week on this problem, we just switched to W7. This question has been asked many times in this forum but no solution seems to fit my issue.
I need to associate the ".pl" extension to a Perl compiler on the network. Presently, I have to install Perl (perl.org) to associate .pl to Perl but then not able to map to the location on the network.
This is what I used to be able to do in Windows XP:Any ideas as to how I can do this in Windows 7? I've seen some possible solutions by editing the registry but prefer to use an easier/elegant solution that I may have missed.
- Start Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types
- Click New
- enter pl
- Click Advanced
- Click New
- Action: Open
- Application: "G:\Epic\Epic53\Editor\Perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*
Thanks.
