    Bulk creation of new custom file associations in Windows 10


    Hello, this is my first post here. I use a lot of configuration files for a certain program, and when I say a lot I mean a LOT really... over 100 different file extensions, but which are actually all plain text files. I use Notepad++ to edit them, and opening them is not too much of a problem as I have the "Edit in Notepad++" option enabled in the drop down menu for all files.What I would like is to be able to display a description of the contents of each file directly in Windows Explorer... Since they are all unknown extensions for the operating system, the explorer only indicates "XXX File"

    :)

    CUSTOM file extensions and CUSTOM icon association?

    Windows 10 keeps changing icons associated with custom file extensions. It seems arbitrary because some new file types do work, others work for a while then randomly change.

    1. How to correctly create CUSTOM file extensions and have a CUSTOM icon associated to the extension?
    2. How to stop windows from changing the icons?
    Types-1.3.1 Extension Icon Editor by Frank Worsley was used.
    Types 2.6.2
    If "Linked class" is used the folder icon updates, but the file icon does not.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Bulk creation of new custom file associations in Windows 10

    CUSTOM file extensions and CUSTOM icon association?

    "NEW" file types, and the extension does not need to launch the program. The file extension (in this case".zpr") only needs to have a custom icon associated to it. It was at one point associated, but then windows 10 changed it.
