I choose number two. Is this one that allow for that default, really long list of mime types to be offered, like was in 2.02? Place the ini in the same folder as the exe. You really don't need extensions as each mime type is stored with the item, EA type data. Besides, too many mime types have files that use the same extensions. -- Bill <Have a Good April Fool's Day>
