File association not working on added drive

[Andy]

I installed another drive. I can't associate .asm files with
qeditor.exe which is only on the added drive.
I tried associating the same type of file with another program on the
drive and it does associate but says it can't find the file when I try
to open one.

Thanks.

Please post the exact association you have for .asm files.

Please post the exact association you have for .asm files.

Name Type Data

For notepad association Default RegSz asm_auto_file
For thegun.exe " " " "
(The file opens with the second one, but say's it can't find the file)

Name Type Data

For notepad association Default RegSz asm_auto_file
For thegun.exe " " " "
(The file opens with the second one, but say's it can't find the file)

I do not understand your reply. What command did you run to
obtain it? Have you tried assoc.exe? You can also play with ftype.exe.

Yes. I don't understand it either. Perhaps Andy could use FileExtInfo tool to generate the association information for .ASM files.

Thanks, the FileExtInfo did the trick. The registry had .asm pointing
to several different things.
I just deleted them all and redid the association.
