File Associations By Program

Clarifications

there is probably a 3rd party software that can do this better.

But if you click open my computer (in XP) click tools>folder options>file types, then it will compile a list of all file extensions on the computer, and if you click on one, down the bottom it will show you what program it opens with.

but if you follow .Martin.'s advice this will give you an indication of File Extensions and associated Programs.

I'd like to have such a list myself, just to have it. :0 I'd like to see an answer to your question; if you come up with an answer from someplace other than TR please post your solution here.

If I HAD to have such a list my solution would be to take incremental screen captures, top to bottom, with Gadwin Print Screen and then type the whole thing out. Sounds like a Winter project.

I'll guarantee over half the filetypes you end up with in your list, are files that you'll never encounter before you shuffle off this mortal coil.

So why would you want to know that a particular program can open XXX, if you're never going to see one?

Furthermore, how comprehensive is this list going to be: how many programs will be featured before you will be satisfied that you've covered all the possible filetypes?

As far as I can see, this exercise is completely arse over t!t. ;)
