Shell Extensions for Perceived Types

[Chris Hills]

Hi

Host is Windows XP Professional SP3.

I have created some shell extension under the following key:-

HKCU\Software\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\video\shell

With the name "open.action_1", "open.action_2", etc.

These extensions show up correctly when I context-click on .avi and .wmv
files, but they do not show up for .mov files.

I have added the following keys:-

HKCU\Software\Classes\.mov
@ MOVFile
"Content Type" video/mov
"PerceivedType" video

HKCU\Software\Classes\MOVFile\shell\open\commane
@ "C:\Program Files\MPC\mplayerc.exe" "%1"

From the documentation, setting the PerceivedType key should be
sufficient, but evidently it is not. What keys are missing to make the
shell extensions show up?

Regards,

Chris Hills

HKCU\Software\Classes\MOVFile\shell\open\commane

Typo, should read:-
HKCU\Software\Classes\MOVFile\shell\open\command

Try changing the "Content Type" from "video/mov" to "video/quicktime".

Yes, it was a typo in my post. It is correct in the registry.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately it did not make any difference.
