Does this give you enough info?


Here's something from http://www.kbcafe.com/rss/usm.html ...  it's for
RSS, but should give us some insight...

------- BEGIN -------
 Windows Registry

The following Registry entries are used to associated the
application/rss+xml Content-Type to the .rss file extension and the
.rss file extension to your application. You can override various sets
of these Registry entries to implement USM. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER
entries will override the HKEY_CLASSES entries to allow for user
preferences.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.rss\OpenWithProgids
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.rss\shell\open\command
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rss
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rssfile\shell\open\command
-------- END --------

This also seem to give some insight too...

For some examples... In my registry, under...

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\video/quicktime

... I see 3 entries...

Name: "(Default)"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: value not set

Name: "CLSID"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: "{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69}"

Name: "Extension"
Type: "REG_SZ'
Data: ".mov"


And under...

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\video/mp4

... I see 3 entries...

Name: "(Default)"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: value not set

Name: "CLSID"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: "{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69}"

Name: "Extension"
Type: "REG_SZ'
Data: ".mp4"


However, under...

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\video/mpeg

... I see 4 entries...

Name: "(Default)"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: value not set

Name: "AutoplayContentTypeHandler"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: "VideoFilesContentHandler"

Name: "CLSID"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: "{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69}"

Name: "Extension"
Type: "REG_SZ'
Data: ".mpeg"



Looking at some other stuff... under...

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov

... i see...

Name: "(Default)"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: "QuickTime.mov"

Name: "Content Type"
Type: "REG_SZ'
Data: "video/quicktime"

And under...

  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp4

... i see...

Name: "(Default)"
Type: "REG_SZ"
Data: "QuickTime.mov"

Name: "Content Type"
Type: "REG_SZ'
Data: "video/mp4"


(I can explore the other registry keys on my computer if you'd like.)



See ya
