A lot of people have asked me how I got my own Icon and Application associations for my newest RPG, Plains of Chaos.
Here is the simple script I use.
// Open the registry and write the file and icon associations
// Set the registry to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
registry_set_root(2);
registry_write_string_ext(argument0, '', argument1);
registry_write_string_ext(argument1, '', argument1);
registry_write_string_ext(argument1 + '\DefaultIcon\', '', working_directory + '\' + argument2 + ', 0');
registry_write_string_ext(argument1 + '\shell\open\command\', '', argument3 + ' "%1"' + ' "' + argument4 + '"');
}
An example would be:
fileAssociate('.abc', 'My File Type', 'abc.ico', 'C:\System32\notepad.exe', '');
You can see it in action in my gameInitialize(); script here:
