I tried it, and all I get is an error message saying that “Windows cannot find Assoc .ext”, so Windows doesn’t seem to recognize Assoc .ext.

Thank you for this, it also solved my problems with OpenOffice. In addition to what MaSlo did, I had to write:

‘ftype name=”path to executable” “%1″′

to get all files to work.

Thanks a lot for this advice. It solved my problem with broken association of OpenOffice files. However, I had to make a small modification: after following your instruction I was able to open the desired program by double-clicking on the file, but the file did not open in the program. So instead of using ‘ftype name=”path to executable”’ I used ‘ftype name=”path to executable” %1′ and the everything was OK. Once again, thanks a lot!

It is file associations editor – you can change anything related to some file extention and changes will be stored in registry.

Roman the software looks very nice but more complicated at first glance. Can it fix this problem or only fix associations that can also be changed using the default methods ?
