How do I set advanced file associations in Windows 7?


It used to be in Windows XP that I could make Warcraft III files load automatically into the game by double clicking on them. This association was made by going to file associations ADVANCED area and using this line:


"C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\War3.exe" -loadfile "%1"

Note that it takes an argument and an option.


However, in Windows 7, the "Default Programs" > "Set Associations" area doesn't seem to have this advanced area.


Can I still get these files to open automatically?



Answer



I'd recommend Default Programs Editor, which can do this and more.


It has full context menu editing, which would allow you to change the command parameters. Plus, it was designed for Vista/7 with UAC support.
