    Can one dump a list of file associations?


    I have screen captures of current file associations sorted both by extension and by association but it would be nice to have a text based list.

    Anyone know how to do it ?

    It looks like filetypesman can do this:

    Version 1.52:
    Added command-line options to save the types/extensions list into html/text/xml/csv file

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm familiar with Filestypeman but unfortunately it doesn't render what the user setting are.

    Unfortunately "take over the system" programs like Powerdvd tend to make a real mess of associations.
    As an example my .flv default app is FLV Media Player but the Win registry and Filestypemanager show PowerDVD as the handler.
    I plan to uninstall Powerdvd as it's gone flaky again and it's really not worth the hassle anymore, as SMPlayer is so good and free !
    So...I want to reassociate and fix up existing PowerDVD damage.


    I should note too that it shows the correct associations via Control Panel/Default apps which is why I wanted to capture all that list...
    I'm currently looking at screen to text converters, but nothing's a standout so far...
