Title

elfs facts -- File actions and associations

Description

These are file settings that can be implemented in the Windows registry, to assign handy info & actions to relevant files.

These settings do nothing unless/until the Set link is clicked, when they set the current info into the registry. Things that are Set cannot be unSet, unlike most of the other settings.
They can be Set again, with new info, or the registry can be adjusted in any other usual way.

Fields

Name is the file-type - the logical identity.

Extension is a space-separated list of file extensions that will be treated as file-type Name.

Icon is the name of an icon file, to use as the source of the icon. The file must be located in a proper place on the adopath - as if it were an .ado file. Leave it blank to use (any) default icons.

open is something to do when the file is double-clicked or otherwise opened in Windows Explorer. If open = usel, Stata & usel will be used to open the file.
If open is anything else, the exact text will be put in the registry as the open command.

Desc Is a description for Name. It shows up in Windows Explorer as the 'Type'.

Links

Set Adds an entry to the Windows registry for name, if it doesn't exist, and assigns any specified extensions, icons, open commands, and descriptions.

Edit All opens a data editor where all the settings can be edited.
