Custom File Types for Vista
Posted: 10 Sep 2008 14:39
Within my viewing panel I have a column called Type that shows what types of files I have.
Now the problem is that quite often such description is too long and with me having set columns to auto-adjust the width it can stretch things out quite a bit.
Examples, trying having a .doc and .msu files. What do you get? "Microsoft Office Word 97 - 2003 Document" and "Microsoft Update Standalone Package" respectively.
Yeah, I can kill the entire Type column, but that won't allow sorting by type. Sure, some of you may say "click to show the extension column". I can do but I already have extensions at the end of my filenames.
Since you pull such data from the registry then is there any chance of filtering it based upon certain set names? I would very much appreciate it, thank you.
