Ok there are many guides on how to assign ONE certain extension (e.g. .aaa) to one program
myprog.exe so that a double click on a file myfile.aaa will automatically start the program and load the file.
But what I need is a similar but different way of assignment.
I want completely replace existing (or assign new) MULTIPLE extension assigments.
For practical purposes you can think of a videoplayer myplayer.exe which covers all extensions
.avi .mpg .mkv .mpeg .ogg .flv ........
Sometimes the new programs offer inside their settings dialog an option to setup new associations
but sometimes they don't.
So I could now start to investigate all possible extensions which should be treated by the new program and assign them individually step-by-step manually.
As you can imagine this is unhandy and annoying.
So what I need is a cmdline (or GUI based) program which assigns multiple extensions IN ONE STEP to one new program like
associatenew.exe "D:\video\myplayernew.exe" .avi .mpg .mkv .mpeg .ogg .flv
Is there such a utility?
