i would like to know is there another way  to change the  filetype association    by default on to my unattended xp cd 

 (not by properties of that file i.e open's with option )

mmm ok here is an easy way

first install "Install Watch"

or any program that takes a snap at the registry

then take a first snap before making any changes

then sign all the types you want to the program you want

by the way you mention it

then retake another snap and you will find the needed registry

that is it.

Thanx for reply

then sign all the types you want to the program you want

the program i use is an  portable one and it doesn't ask me to associate to file 

can any one give me a sample .reg file to associate particular file types with that  Mplayer app

[q123]

 after seeing some .reg files in my registry i made some thing like this   

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.abc]
@="Mplayer"

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer]
@="abcfile type"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Mplayer\\MPlayer.exe\""

with that i was able to open my .abc with mplayer by default  



    my questions are:

1.Is it right or need to change the code

2.what if i need to associate the app with .dat,.vob,.mp4 .....etc create a reg file for all the types

well just

this line Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

is duplicated remove the second one

and to make it working for types like dat vob etc

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.abc]
@="Mplayer"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer]
@="abcfile type"

you need to make this for each one of them

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.abc]
@="Mplayer"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer]
@="abcfile type"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Mplayer\\MPlayer.exe\""

you will only make the first two section for every type

and in the third one the destination for MPlayer.exe

you can change it with this

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer\shell\open\command]
@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Mplayer\\MPlayer.exe\""

so it works with any program files

[q123]

thanx alot for your support



hmmm to open that file.dat in that Mplayer the working commmand is

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Mplayer\shell\open\command]
@="\"%ProgramFiles%\\Mplayer\\MPlayer.exe\""%1\""

else just player is opened nothing happens
