Changing File 'type description'
This may seem like an odd request, but it's something I can do in Windows 98, 2000 and XP, but have no idea how to do it in Windows 7.
When using Explorer, set to display 'details', there is a 'Type' column, which displays information like "File Folder" for subdirectories, "Text Document" for a .txt file or "Configuration Settings" for a .ini file.
I would like to know how to change these file type descriptions. I'm sure it's in the registry, but couldn't find it. Closest I got was HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentUser\Explorer\FileExts but it doesn't seem to be there.
In older versions of Windows, this could be changed in explorer preferences, which was moved to "Default Programs" in Control Panel, but I can't seem to change it there either.
If a file has no association, then the 'Open With...' screen will ask you to enter a file type description, but this disappears if the file has an association already.
I'm at a loss, and you great guys (and gals) on this forum have never let me down yet, so I'm hoping someone can point me to the right place.
All this is because I want to change "PHP File" to "PHP Script"...
