How do I associate extensionless files with an application?
This used to be simple to do in XP[1], but I can't figure out how to do it in Win7 (Ultimate edition).
Currently extensionless files open by default in notepad (yes I have the show file extensions option enabled).
When I try to use the Open With dialog to associate the Scite editor with such files, the Always use the selected program option is greyed out.
I've tried the XP trick of adding a . (dot) key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. If I add the key OpenWithList to it, and then and a subkey scite.exe, the OpenWith context menu will show scite. But it still doesn't allow me to set it as the default viewer.
So how do I set scite.exe to be the default viewer for extensionless files?
