Configuring Windows Explorer
Files Without Extentions
Normally, when you right click a file which does not
have an extention, the pop-up menu displays
the options which apply to all file types (*) and those which
apply to Unknown file types.
By adding a dot key to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, you can
define
menu options for only those files which do not have an extension.
This example comes from
news://microsost.public.win95.setup.
Simply copy the text to an *.reg file and merge it
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\shell\open\command]
@=""C:\\Windows\\NotePad.exe" \"%1\""
The following will have a similar effect.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.]
@="txtfile"
