Hi Rami,
Is that program installed for all users?
In the meantime: To rename en masse: (use as example)
Go to Start/Run/CMD
Open a Command Prompt window (Start/Run/CMD) and navigate to the folder the
CHK files are in. At the command prompt type REN *.CHK *.JPG (note the
spacing).
Add new program and file ext doesn't change nor the icon:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
Scroll down to the ext and change the application path. If Application
isn't listed, add it (String Value). Also under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\[file in
question]\shell\open\command. To change the icon: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\[file
in question]\DefaultIcon
File Extensions hide -
>From the command prompt, "attrib *.ext +h," where ext equals the
desired extension and without the quote marks.
ASSOC [.ext[=[fileType]]]
.ext = Specifies the file extension to associate the file type with
fileType = Specifies the file type to associate with the file extension
Type ASSOC without parameters to display the current file associations. If
ASSOC is invoked with just a file extension, it displays the current file
association for that file extension. Specify nothing for the file type and
the command will delete the association for the file extension.
