Manually Change File Associations

Hi Everyone,
First of all, i would like to say big Thanks to the Liberkey Team, for creating such a great application. I have been using it for quite some time now :bigsmile:

My Question is regarding File Associations. I have used the Enable File Association feature of Liberkey and it works well. The thing is that now I want to permanently enable the file associations, because my Liberkey is not running from USB, but I am using it from my Hard-Disk, so I want permanent file associations.

For Example, in case of HTML File, several options are added to the Right-Click Menu, such as:
Open with Firefox
Open with Google Chromium etc
But I want it to be permanently associated with Firefox, i.e. the filename FirefoxLKL.exe.
I read on some forums, and I guess we can do it with 'ftype' or we might need to do some registry tweak.
Is there a way to do it, using either a BAT File or by manually modifying the Registry ? :bigsmile:

I got the answer by searching Google. Thanks anyways.
Here is how to do it:

I tried:
Code: Select all
FTYPE htmfile="E:\LiberKey\Apps\Firefox\FirefoxLKL.exe" "%%1"
ASSOC .htm=htmfile


and it works :)
I'll now be creating a BAT File for all the File Extensions that I use, and point it to the Libekey Launcher.

Thanks anyways.
