Question:

I want to create a winbatch program to associate an extension to run a compiled winbatch EXE, i.e., *.PKZ file will run c:\zap\Ziprun.exe "%1"

I know this can be done with winbatch's registry commands, However I'm not sure where to start.

Answer:

        rkey=RegOpenKey(@REGCLASSES,"")
        if RegExistKey(rkey,".pkz") then RegDeleteKey(rkey,".pkz")
        RegSetValue(rkey, ".pkz", "pkz_auto_file")
        RegSetValue(rkey,"pkz_auto_file\shell\open\command",strcat('"c:\zap\Ziprun.exe" "%%1"'))
        AU=StrUpper(a)
        RegSetValue(rkey,"pkz_auto_file","PKZ File")   ; Or other description
        RegClosekey(rkey)
