Dialog box: Associate
Allows the association of certain file extensions (for example .txt) with programs.
All files with extension (ending with):
Enter the file extension without a leading asterisk (*). It does not matter if you type a period in front of the extension. If there is already an association, it is shown in the box below.
Associate with: Here you ENTER the program name you want to associate with the file extension given above. Under Windows 3.1 you can choose from a list of predefined files, which are presented in the list below. If the program does not show up in the list, you can ENTER the program name by hand (including the search path), or browse for the program with the browse button.
New Starts another dialog box to browse for programs (*.exe) to create a new association. If the desired program has any other extension (for example .com), you can type *.com ENTER in the dialog box, which shows the .com-files in the current directory.
Edit type Allows to edit the selected program type in a separate dialog box. Here you can define additional verbs to the default 'open' verb, to extend the context menu of the file type.
OK Saves all changes in the Windows Registry and the file win.ini, or in wincmd.ini for the viewer associations.
Cancel Ignores all changes and returns to Total Commander.
