DCTMP file assiciations

14 posts in this topic

I have a bug with dctmp file associations :stuart: in old times, when i had apexdc++ v.2.1 i opened with right click, then options,"opens with",and the file association after that,was with apex icon(when double click it opened apexdc).but now,in v2.2, it cannot associate with apex :( its associates with wordpad,and thats annoying.can you add in v.2.3 file association option for temporary dc++ files(DCTMP)? It would be superb. :P

this is more then likly because you double clicked the file at some time and chose to open it with apex. if you really want to associate dctmp files with apex do the following

start -> run

cmd 


C:\>assoc .dctmp=dcPlusPlusTmp

C:\>ftype dcPlusPlusTmp="C:\Program Files\ApexDC++\ApexDC.exe" %1

you will have to change the path of apex to what ever it is on yours but i think a better option would be to use vlc to open dctmp files.

Then try with the GUI: RMB on the *.dctmp, Open With..., Choose program..., (select the one you wish), check on "Always use this program for opening this type of file", OK

zlobomir method will work and is less likly to give you a mistake. however you could try running 'command' instead of cmd

You can't just Shift-RightClick on a DCTMP file, why? That is what you do in explroer to get the Open With... option? ...maybe I've not used explorer in so long I've forgotten, but I'm pretty sure? :S

I believe you need Shift only on Win 98. If he managed to run Apex on this antique, he will definitely not ask about associations. :D

Sorry to dissappoint you. Shift doesn't make a difference for Run As... either. :) At least on my PC. :D
