This is an advanced Windows file association utility
Here is some sweet stuff you can do with it:
- Manually add extension information
- Change a file type’s description
- Change a file type’s icon
- Change an extension’s associated file type
- Add/Edit/Delete an extension’s default association
- Add/Edit/Delete other entries on the file’s context menu
- Preserve verb precedence hierarchy
- View shell extension entries on the context menu
- Remove ‘Default Programs’ association that Windows likes to make annoying to change
- Add/Edit/Delete your own autoplay handlers
- Change which autoplay options are available for users
- Disable that “Search web for unknown extension” dialog
- Single .exe utility, no installation
On top of all that, here are some bonus features:
- Make changes direct to the registry, or export them as .reg files for easy distribution
- Designed for Vista, with UAC support, so you can painlessly run as a standard user
- Works with XP too (a few features disabled, just use TweakUI)
- Make changes to your user account, or the machine default, or both
Documentation is admittedly sparse right now, but here are some how-to’s:
