autosc Posted June 17, 2007 Author Posted June 17, 2007 search for Query file associations with Shell32.dll Functions check this link for more info from here thanks to poisonkiller Thanks good hints ...

"doc" , "txt" .... $sFileName ="c:\test7.doc" $sDirectory= "" $rBuffer = DllStructCreate("char[4096]") DllCall("Shell32.dll", "hwnd", "FindExecutable", "str", $sFileName, "str", $sDirectory, "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($rBuffer)) $Returns= DllStructGetData($rBuffer, 1)
FreeFry Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) Edit: nvm. You could make it use only the Registry to get what you want, RegRead'ing the default value the key "HKCR\.txt" would return the associated file-type, ie. txtfile then you RegRead the default value for the key "HKCR\txtfile\open", and you'll get what program it opens with Edited June 17, 2007 by FreeFry
