FileTypeDiag (file type registry dumper)

[Midas]

FileTypeDiag is a simplistic and highly focused diagnostic utility that might come handy in troubleshooting situations, especially if coupled with something like NirSoft's FileTypesMan (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1478) and a tutorial like HowToGeek's "Change a File Type’s Icon in Windows 7" (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/12383/).

• FileTypeDiag is tool to help diagnose problems or differences with file-types on different machines. For example, it can help see why the "wrong" program launches when a file is double-clicked. You give the program a file extension (or leave it blank to save details about folders/directories) and it will create a text file containing the registry settings which relate to that file-type.

  • 

BTW & FYI, alternate system file types manager utilities at TPFC (for portables, see this post):
ExtMan (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2330);
Types (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1548).

FileTypeDiag has no settings; more info and current version (v1.0.0.7; for both 32 and 64 bits Windows) download at http://www.pretentiousname.com/miscsoft ... leTypeDiag.

Tested Portable

The FileTypeDiag.exe is 32-bit but it captures both 32-bit and 64-bit registry SAMs.
