Windows 10: [SOLVED] How can I create a default opener for '.etl' files?

*SOLUTION*

With a bit of thought, I solved this myself. I'm leaving this here to help others...

I created a CMD program: 'c:\CMD & tiny apps\OPEN ETL FILE.CMD', that contains a single line of text:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\eventvwr.msc" /l:%1

Then, I double-clicked on a '.etl' file and used the resulting dialog to point it to 'c:\CMD & tiny apps\OPEN ETL FILE.CMD'. It works.

*END SOLUTION*


I want clicks on '.etl' files to automatically open them, thusly:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmc.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\system32\eventvwr.msc" /l:"...filespec..."

That command line works, but creating a file association seems impossible.


Any ideas out there?


Warm Regards,

Mark.

Cannot delete .etl files - etl files created event though Windows Kits not installed.

Looks like I have solved this:

Installed Windows Performance Toolkit 10 and ran xbootmgr -remove. Whilst this created a trace (.etl) file on C:\ this was easily deleted and subsequent re-boots have not produced any further trace files.

Thank you for your help.

Change How Folders Open By Default (My laptop keeps using CMD)

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response. I suggest you to set File Explorer as the Default program and check if that helps. To do this, refer the steps given below.

• Open Control Panel.
• Search for Default Programs.
• Go to Default Programs.
• Look for File Explorer towards the left pane and select it.
• Set this as default program and apply changes.
• Check if the issue persists.

Hope this helps.
