How to create File Associations

[ur]

We can create file associations by applying registries similar to below one.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell\EditScite]
@="Edit with Scite"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell\EditScite\Command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\AutoIt3\\SciTE\\SciTE.exe\" \"%1\""

 

But, is there any direct UDI available in AutoIT?

Writing to HKCR is a bad idea, and you're probably going to struggle with permissions.

Just go with HKCU
