Gunners File Type Editor

Current Version : 3.1.4.8

I am continually adding features to fullfill my idea for an extension editor. Although nobody reported any malfunctions, I take no responsibilty for any damages this software causes to your computer.

No installation required, just unzip to a directory and run gfte. Uninstall, just delete the gfte directory. Portable? Should be.

Windows Vista and WIndows 7 do not provide an easy way to change file associations so I created GFTE.  GFTE will work with Windows 2000 and higher.

Gunners File Type Editor allows you to you to create/modify various properties for file extensions. Each user can have different properties for a file extension. For example, the default program to open .txt files when you double click on a file with the .txt extension is Notepad. GFTE allows you to change that.

Admin Mode allows you to change properties for extesnions system wide, you can set Notepad++ to open all txt files for all users, until the user changes that.

Gunners File Type Editor allows you to:

• Create new extension
• Delete extension
• Change icon for extension
• Change description
• Change perceived type
• Change MIME content type
• Change default program used to open extension
• Edit command line args to pass to program to open extension
• Compares extensions - Shows what extensions were added or deleted (good to see what an install adds or deletes)
• Shows user modified and user created extensions
• Search for an extension
• Modify Open With program list that explorer uses
• Edit DDE info for extension
• Modify EditFlags for extension
• Admin mode allows you to do all of the above but system wide
