[Vicks]

hi, I was wondering with autoit is there away to,(Right Click) on any file such as exe,ini,bat, anything and goto the properties and instead of browsing for the script you want it to open your program with, could I make it in the other programs column, or maybe even the recommended. I know I might of confussed people so ill upload a picture. sorry for the bad picture

you can probaly do something with the registry

[Vicks]

thank you, I have thought about that but, im not to sure how to do it, I have started this 3 days ago, and I don't really like messing with regwrites, they can be bad if you don't know what your doing

play with this :

start run

rundll32 shell32,OpenAs_RunDLL

autoit :

run("rundll32 shell32,OpenAs_RunDLL c:\test.txt")

maybe

$file_name = FileGetShortName($file_name)
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $file_name, "", @SW_HIDE)

8)

maybe

$file_name = FileGetShortName($file_name)
    Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $file_name, "", @SW_HIDE)

8)

When i use this code, the problem is, my start menu did not want to hide. It still appear. Do you know why?

Can you explain what is mean every syntax in Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $file_name, "", @SW_HIDE)

tq

Your right I'm a bit confused

If you want a menu item to appear (A item called "my script") when you right click on a file, then you will have to add registry stuff. That is the M$ way. You should seach for "Context menu" or somthing similar. There are some samples in the forum.

You could aslo add a default handler for a file type. Search for +shell +command +open (or run).

Happy hunting

I have tryed yours but, not sure how to get this going so I add this to my script, and rename to same name as my program such as *cool*, and I get a error

$cool = FileGetShortName($cool)

Run(@ComSpec & " /c Start " & $cool, "", @SW_HIDE)

i think he wants to change what an extension is opened with, Example instead of notepad opening a .txt when you double click it but instead Wordpad would open it.

i made a script called 'right click' a while back, it is in scripts and scraps. it is a gui that will let you change file associations for the context menu of any extension on your computer. the code should show you how to do what you wish.

I have looked for your script can't find it, I even typed your name in the search can you please post me the link
