Hi.

I've created a program similar to Unzip. It takes command line arguments
like this:

unzip file1

I've added this Keys to Registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MY_FILE_TYPE\Shell\MYZIP = "Unzip file"
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MY_FILE_TYPE\Shell\MYZIP\Command =
"[PROGRAM_PATH]\MyUnZip.exe" %1

My problem is: when I select more than one file to unzip, the program fails
(windows open a program for each file). How can I disable this file
associaton when the number of arguments is more than one?. I mean, I want
that "Unzip file" only appear when I right click only one file.


Sorry for my bad english.

Thank you.

Generally your application should parse passed arguments and if
designed to do so, utilize only the first one.

...\myzip.exe "%*"
