Thanks
There was no HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell but HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shellex...I'm not sure it's the same. I put the command there but nothing changed...
I run WinME ( "why"??
)
I found this on microsoft's website:
Quote:
Use Registry Editor to examine the file association key for unknown file types:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command
The "default" value for this key should read:
C:\%windir%\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1
If necessary, modify the value to match the value shown here.

The only thing is that key "unknown" doesn't exist. Should I add one and see what happens?
