- File associations / registered file types
- Posted by Eltee on December 21st, 2004
Hi everybody,
I'm dealig with the problem of file associations. I'd like to
programatically (plain C, using win32 api) retrieve information
regarding associated applications for registered file types. Idealy I'd
like to have
1. an absolute file name (including the path) for each application and
2. an icon (absolute filename and index) for each registered type.
As I don't know how (where and in what format) this information is
available, I'd like to hear from the experts first (to at least give me
some directions so I don't waste too much time searching in all the
wrong places).
All information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
