Programmer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I see. That explains it then. File extensions must have an override from HKCU. Normally they're only specified in HKCR or HKLM. The case shown in that key should match the case you specified in PSPad menu option Settings > Program Settings > Registered File Types. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there no edit option on this forum to fix a post you made previously? I meant to say HKCR. HKEY_USERS contains defaults for create new user which doesn't normally have any extension associations. That is interesting that you can write values under HKCU and they get combined into HKCR along with the HKLM, but is it necessary? I'm running XP Pro with limited user access and I have rights to modify HKLM\Software\Classes keys. If it's possible these keys can be restricted and we just don't do that, then writing the updates to HKCU could be a good idea (would they conflict with HKLM values?). -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,49593,49652> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
