WAssociate is FreeWare written for Windows 95 and NT.
WAssociate is a shortcut for clicking View - Options - File types
in Windows Explorer, or taking the same walk using registry
editors like RegEdit. This is where WAssociate is about. Being in
control when double or right clicking an icon in Explorer or any
Windows 95 or NT file dialog. Quickly editing the default open
command that gets executed when you double click an icon, editing
the alternate mouse button menus, setting of icons, descriptions,
and ... more.
NT users must have the rights to edit the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to use WAssociate. I did NOT have the time to test WAssociate on accounts with limited rights. You can find out whether you have enough rights by starting RegEdit and to access the keys found beneath HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. If you are not allowed to access them don't install WAssociate or ask your administrator for more rights.
To make WAssociate accessible from the 'Send to' menu of Explorer, you can place a shortcut to WAssociate.exe in your SendTo folder. You can find a description of the SendTo folder in Windows Help (Start - Help - Index topic SendTo).
