Windows Server 2008 R2: Different file associations when double-clicking vs. right-click -> open

-

i have basic .xml file on windows 2008 r2 desktop. have set file association .xml files adobe framemaker 12. when double-click .xml file, opens framemaker. when right-click -> open .xml file, opens notepad.

i need .xml file open framemaker, when use right-click -> open. how can set users on windows 2008 r2 server?

thank you!

hi nicole,

thank posting in windows server forum.

when double-click on file in windows explorer, windows shell looks extension of file in registry see if extension registered. if extension not registered, windows displays open dialog box, allowing user choose application associate file type. if extension registered, windows calls shellexecute() function command of "open." passes name of file double-clicked command line parameter. 

associations go further opening file, though. if right-click on text file (.txt) in explorer see 2 items @ top of context menu. first named open. choosing menu item same double-clicking file in explorer. when choose open, notepad.exe started selected file loaded (assuming default windows installation). second menu item called print. clicking menu item cause file printed without displaying notepad @ all.

there registry setting application association take place, can edit them under following path.
hkey_classes_root\test app file

(quoted below article)

using file associations

hope helps!

thanks.
