Hey all, I've been searching through this forum for tips on registering file types with VB and I have been given a few ideas, but i am still really lost. I know it involves invoking registry editing functions and Windows API calls, both of which I know nothing about. But basically, I have a program that i want to be the default program for one file extension: ".fsc". I also want to be able to open many files with the same program, but that is another story for another day (checking app.previnstance and sending a message to the current instance of the program, blah blah blah). But most of all, i need some code to associate a file type with my program every time the user runs the program. Can anyone help? Thanks, Adam

I don't have any code to hand. You should look at the API tutorial on this forum to learn about using them.
