Hi Tom,

If you're using Windows XP Professional, you can use the ASSOC command to
get the list of file types registered in the system along with their
ProgIDs. Click Start, Run and type:

cmd /c assoc >"%userprofile%\desktop\filetypes.txt"

Open filetypes.txt (present in your Desktop) using Notepad to view the
contents.

XP SP2

Is there a simple way to list all the defined file types on a PC and have
the output redirected to a text file?

I know that I can list the file types in Windows Explorer, and that there
are massive lists of file types available on the Internet, but all I really
want is a process that can produce a plain text listing of the file types
that are configured on a specific machine.
