Oh, it's that auto filetype again. Steve, when you say you fixed this for 3.5, does that means there's a simple command or API to revert this automatic ProgId back to the Python.File type? This problem shows up repeatedly on Stack Overflow, so it would be nice to have a solution that works consistently from Windows 7 to 10. cmd.exe's built-in assoc and ftype commands only modify the local machine association and filetype. A per-user install doesn't use those, and sometimes Explorer instead uses a per-executable command defined in Software\Classes\Applications. Also, just modifying the command doesn't actually select what ShellExecuteEx will choose to run. I used to directly modify Explorer's FileExts\...\UserChoice for a given file extension, but that's actively discouraged by a deny ACL nowadays. Fine, but I've run into cases where Explorer's dialog doesn't let me choose a an existing ProgId. ---------- assignee: -> steve.dower resolution: not a bug -> status: closed -> open versions: +Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24843> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
