  • Win10/64 laptop: problem w/ file associations and Shell

    From Harry Potter@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 21 12:29:16 2021
    Hi! I have a Windows 10 64-bit laptop and made some file associations with regedt32.exe and have a problem: when I right-click .prg files which have the associations and click a desired operation, a window pops up and asks how I want to open the file.
    I don't want that. I want to open it in a certain way just this once. Following are registry dumps of one offending file type:

    That happens when Windows can't find the associated program file.

    The entries point to valid files and folders. I get the same when opening .PDF files.

    Modern Windows thinks that it better knows what to do than user or
    programmer. That's sad.
