[EXTENSIONS] SECTION -------------------- The [extensions] section contains settings that link groups of document files with an application so that opening the document file automatically starts the application. The [extensions] section can contain settings of the following type: <extension>=<executable-filename input-filename> Purpose: Contains a list of filename extensions and corresponding applications that are called when the user chooses a file that has one of the given extensions. The <extension> keyname is a one- to three-character extension. The <executable-filename> value is the filename (with the .EXE extension) of the corresponding application. The <input-filename> value is the filename that will be passed to the application when called. This value can be any filename, or it can consist of a special wildcard character -- the caret (^) -- followed by a filename extension. The caret (^) represents all files with the specified extension. For example, the following setting links document files with the .CAL extension to the Windows Calendar application: cal=calendar.exe ^.cal To change: Choose Association from the File menu in File Manager.
