Windows 7 File Associations .mov
- by Paul Mung
I created a new windows 7 SP1 base image.
Everything is all fine and dandy with that.
So i am now installing standard applications
I would like Quicktime to manage .mov files. The only problem is WMP (Windows Media Player) won't give up the association to .mov files.
It's driving me crazy... i've been reading threads on how to fix file associations.
I would like to do it via registry, powershell or cmdline. I cannot use GPO
I've tried the following:
assoc .mov=QuickTime.mov
ftype QuickTime.mov="%ProgramFiles(x86)\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe"
Reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorere\FileExts\.mov\UserChoice" /v Progid /d QuickTime.mov /f
Reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorere\FileExts\.mov\OpenWithList" /v a /d QuickTimePlayer.exe /f
Reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorere\FileExts\.mov\OpenWithList" /v b /d wmplayer.exe /f
Reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorere\FileExts\.mov\OpenWithList" /v MRUList /d ab /f
Reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorere\FileExts\.mov\OpenWithProgids" /v Quicktime.mov /t REG_NONE /d 0000 /f
Reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorere\FileExts\.mov\OpenWithProgids" /v WMP11.AssocFile.MOV /t REG_NONE /d 0000 /f
