Hello,

I“ve created successfully a shell extension to operate with my own
filetypes(for example *.m3l). I“ve used "MayChangeDefaultMenu" to execute a
file (a *.m3l) file automatically with a double click and it works
correctly. But my problem is if another application calls the function
shellexecute and open a .m3l filetype I always get the message Error: 1155.
This error occurs if my file type isn“t correctly associated with my
applications. I want that the Shell-Extension handles completly the handling
of *.m3l filetypes. My Registry Key for *.m3l files looks like this:

..m3l
..m3l -> default -> mp3archiver.archiv

mp3archiver.archiv
mp3archiver.archiv -> DefaultIcon -> foobar
mp3archiver.archiv -> ShellEx
mp3archiver.archiv -> ShellEx -> ContextMenuHandlers
mp3archiver.archiv -> ShellEx -> ContextMenuHandlers -> MP3AContMenu
mp3archiver.archiv -> ShellEx -> ContextMenuHandlers -> MP3AContMenu -> my
CLSID

I don“t want use the shell entries like this one

mp3archiver.archiv -> Shell
mp3archiver.archiv -> Shell -> open and so on

So is it possible to execute a file with shellexecute and my shell extension
handles my file type.

Best Regards

Rainer

What's MayChangeDefaultMenu?

Why not? Have you tried them? Maybe they could make the other programs
stop crashing.

When you call ShellExecute, you specify a verb. If that verb isn't
listed in the registry, then different operating systems will do
different things to compensate. What have you done to indicate which
verb is the default for your file type?
