How do I make a program a default program for a file? As in if I had just a basic .txt file editor, I could make the program the default program for the extension .txt. I have tried just doing it in Default Programs, in Windows 7, and Windows XP. But when you click on the file it opens the program, but does not load the file. I plan on actually releasing the beta 2 a Office Suite I created.

I have recently published a simple text editor(just as an exercise). the editor has been published using Microsoft Visual Basic Express. Once the program is installed i wanted to make it a default opener for .txt files, so i clicked openwith ->Choose default program and then i was asked to show the location of the .exe. It seems like the .exe of my installed program doesn't exist. where the .exe is on a windows7 or tell me of another way of makeing that program the default opener.
Here is the link to the publish page: [URL]
I am creating a button to save text files (Visual Basic 2005 and Windows XP). I made the following loop to give a default name for the file before saving:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'This loop is supposed to name the file "file10.txt", and if such a file exists it is
supposed to name it "file20.txt" then "file30.txt" etc.
Dim myFileName As String
Dim i As Integer = 10
myFileName = "D:filesfile" & i & ".txt"[code].....
However, the app gets unresponsive only after one round in the loop (when the file name is "file20"). The loop gets stuck at the following line:
If IO.File.Exists(myFileName) = True Then
This line works only once and after that it becomes unresponsive.
Does anybody know of a way to determine the current name and link to the program on a computer currently as default associated with a file extension? For example, if you have a "*.jpg" file, it most likely will open in WINDOWS PICTURE GALLERY under Vista on default. If you associated another program with the "*.jpg" extension, then this file will be opened with tat program instead. "*.jpg" is here only an example!

View 3 RepliesI've just completed my first project (horay for me), and have compiled it, although i'm not sure if i've done it correctly. What its done is made a directory with 'setup' and 'sliding scale' (sliding scale is the file name) with another directory of 'application files'. Now none of it uses any form of databases, all it does is allows the user to input 5 sets of figures and then calculates a price. How if possible can I get it to be just sliding scale.exe so that way others can use it without having to download this .net framework stuff (if thats made any sense)?

View 5 RepliesWhat I want is to make a custom file with my program. This file we will pretend is called InfiniteMapFile.INMP and the file has no contents therefore we need to add contents. There are 3 pixture boxes and 3 text files. The data for each of these files needs to go into InfiniteMapFile.INMP with the associated names, then later on be taken out if needed. Here is a diagram:
you can see what I mean by putting the files within it, I would have made my file look more like a box, but we're not 5 years old and I'm sure all of you will understand.Just knowing how to combine multiple files in general will help.
