Open with available for all files

[Mint]

Is there a way to have explorer have an Open All for all file types,
esp. .exes.

Thanks.

What do you mean "Open All". Explorer will open/run an executable file.
Try explaining what exactly you are attempting to accomplish.

I meant Open With.

I want to be able to open .exe files directly with my debugger.

To add your debugger to the right-click menu for EXE files,
create this registry file:

1. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

----------copy-inside-only----------
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\debugger]
@="Run in Debugger"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\debugger\command]
@="\"C:\\Path To\\debugger.exe\" \"%1\""

----------copy-inside-only----------

2. Change path, then save-as Open_With_Debugger.reg (or any name + .reg)

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\openas\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\rundll32.exe C:\\Windows\\System32\\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1"

----------copy-inside-only----------

2. Change paths if necessary, then save-as Open_With_EXE.reg (or any name + .reg)
