Easily view and edit file type associations
After installing a few dozen software tools you've probably ruined your file association, meaning you no longer control which app opens which file types.
FileTypesMan can help you sort this out by displaying a list with all current file types and extensions currently registered in your system. You can edit each file's properties right on the program's interface, thus fixing broken associations or removing non-working right-click entries, just to mention two possible interesting usages.
FileTypesMan doesn't require any installation and while it may seem a bit too technical for novice users, it's definitely a very convenient file type manager that comes in especially handy when your file associations are overrun by any app.
Repair and restore current file associations on your system in a quick, easy way thanks to FileTypesMan.
Added 'Mark Odd/Even Rows' option, under the View menu. When it's turned on, the odd and even rows are displayed in different color, to make it easier to read a single line

User reviews about FileTypesMan

Useless tool due to good intentions but poor design. The function 'Replace filetype' (F4) opens a dialog popup for a selected extention (eg. .JPG) that: a) DOES NOT open a standard selection window in which you can browse for a specific .exe file you want to open .jpg-files (I wanted to use Irfanview.exe),
b) only lets you choose from other Microsoft (lousy) software.
Trying to manually 'Edit File type' (F2) opens a badly designed popup window with:
1. A Notice section that is too small to show the whole message (no scollbar)
(Notice - Changing the properties of this file type may affect the following extensions: .arw, .bmp, .cr2, .crw, .dib, .erf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .jxr, .kdc, .mrw, .nef, .nrw, .orf, .pef, .png, .raf, .raw, .rw2, .rwl, .sr2, .srw, .wdp)
2. no option to overrule or handle the mentioned notice warning,
"MAY (!) effect the following extensions" means it could leave your PC in an undefined state for those notice-extensions!
3. some info without explanation, only few people know what to do with it
4. when clicking the [...] button next to 'User choice' you end up in the same lousy selection-list of Microsoft software only!
