Problem with get regcmd on win 8.1

Post by SkyFrontier »

text get("regcmd", "mp3");

pops "open=" as a result under windows 8.1, default associations.

Any idea on how to have such info available?
Then, I guess "WMP11.AssocFile.mp3" would be the correct answer. How to programmatically associate the Windows Media Player to another extension, say ".ape", considering the ".ext" (mp3, in case) part?
Thanks.

I get this under Win8.1.:

Code: Select all

Play="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:6 /Play "%L"

Weird.
Searching for
"Play="%ProgramFiles"
on regedit doesnt show anything here...
Alternative method for a second attempt of determining which program opens which extension if result is "open=", anyone...?
