Hi All,
Wanted to know how to change File association using Visual basic. For e.g .zip file gets opened with winzip hwoever when some one clicls .zip file, it should open with notepad. Basically change file association which can be done using folder options -->File types in windows 2000.
Thanks
Anil

The paths to be ran for each extension are held in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Extensions

You can manipulate the values by using the registry API functions
