Windows batch file association

wicon

Generates two windows .reg file to install and uninstall a collection of associations for your prefered software.

Also, you can configure it to include:

  • create new file (for any file of your collection)
  • Open with... when right click a file
  • Open with... when right click a folder
  • Open with... when right click an empty area inside a opened folder.

And for each association you can define the icon and description of each file type.

⚠️ To put it clear: It will not touch your Windows registry, all it does is to create a .reg file with your configuration. Is up to you to check everything and then apply the changes by double clicking the .reg file or by importing it into regedit.exe.
