assoc

About this tag
The assoc command in Windows is used to display or modify file extension associations. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss using assoc alongside ftype to associate file extensions with specific programs, such as associating .txt files with Notepad++ or video files with MPlayer. Common issues include 'Access denied' errors when running assoc from the command line, particularly on Windows 7, and Windows Explorer ignoring associations set via assoc and ftype. Users also seek alternatives when assoc and ftype do not work as expected, such as when the %1 parameter fails to pass the file to the associated program. These discussions focus on troubleshooting command-line file association in Windows.
