Just to speed up the communication cycle a little bit:

Christian asked for the two registry paths:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ACDC_TIFF]

and

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ACDC_JPG]

And this is much more than one single line per key.

Kind regards,
Holger

Here you have the problem! This tells Total Commander to look for a key named
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ACDC_JPEG\shell\îòêðûòü]

which does not exist.

[Tour_19]

Thank you, but this problem appeared only in TC rc1 and russian version ACDCEE. More old versions TC work with same registry key orderly.

Well, I'm no longer getting the "Verb" to execute myself any more now, as explained in other threads here. Instead, I'm passing a NULL pointer to ShellExecuteEx, so Windows has to find the right verb by itself and execute the program. Therefore it's Windows itself which cannot find the verb. TC reverted back to "open" when the verb was apparently non-existing, as in your case. This workaround is, unfortunately, no longer possible.
