Hi I want to use windows explorer to display the contents of .WAR files. I
have tried creating a file type in Tools->Folder Options->File Types. Here I
added a WAR extension field and gave it the same configuration as the ZIP
extension. So it has an Open Action with the following fields
App used to perform action = rundll32.exe zipfldr.dll,RouteTheCall %L
Use DDE = selected
DDE Message = [ViewFolder("%l", %I, %S)]
Application = Folders
DDE Application not runnig = []
Topic = AppProperties
This gives the following behaviour - it allows me to double click the .war
file in windows explorer and I then get the file download dialog box with
three options Open, Save, Cancel. If I select Open it then pops up another
file download dialog box but this time I only have the option to save the
file or cancel. Getting these file download diaglog boxes is unexpected as
the file is already on the hard drive. I would have expected it to behave
like a .zip file that opens another folder straight away and displays the
contents.
I cannot use WinZip by the way.
Thanks
