Where is the Updating File Association Verb Editor / Dialog

Hi,
You can right click any file type and use Open with and point it to a program you want to use
Check the box to do it every time.

I recently had a problem where I needed to register a program to open a file type as "non default" application.

I used OpenWithAdd. You can get it here (Option 2 -Step 1 for download link)

Open with - Add Program

So in my case for .dat files PotPlayer is default but VoodooShield also needed to be added in order to work with another program.

You can type your own name for the application that you need to appear in "Open With" menu.

thanks

Yes, it looks like you can only modify open. Not edit or any other verb let alone adding a new verb.

Looks like I have to tweak the registry. It appears I can do it in two ways. I used .txt as my test bed.

1 - Add your program with extra verbs

Add via the open with as described elsewhere
- or -
Find the extension in HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts. Add your program to the OpenWithList key (attachment A).



Then add your program to the UserChoice as in attachment B.


Then find your program in HCU\Software\Classes\Applications\<your program>\shell. Add your new command as in attachment C.

You probably need to add these keys unless you do the open with. I had done that so this entry was there but I suspect it would not be otherwise.

2 - Leave the default open alone and change the default program. In this case, the default was txtfile so I added myopen to the txtfile keys under HKLM\Software\Classes\txtfile (attachment D).


I would probably use the first method unless I wanted to add functionality to everything txtfile handles. Like if I wanted to add functionality to both .txt and .log both of which are handled by txtfile.


I do have a question if any forum gurus are here. I sort of manually inserted my attachments inline after uploading by getting the image location and inserting images inline. Then I deleted the attachments. Is this legit or am I likely to see the images disappear?

Open with - Add Program

Okay I understand that you want to modify "Edit" context menu entry. Originally I read it as "Add Edit With (Program Name)" to "Open With" context menu entry.
