 File type associationsIs there an easy way to check if a certain type of file is associated with a certain program, and also to make or destroy an association? I know it involves doing stuff with the registry, but I have no clue what to do. Oh yeah, and I mean doing this inside a program, not directly using regedit. Does anyone have any experience doing stuff like this?

File type associations You misunderstand. I want a program to change a file's association, I already know how to do that myself using Explorer.
