Windows Explorer "OpenWithList" while using TC?

Post by *TheOwner »

Hello,
I think TC and Windows Explorer are somehow connected because i see my files associated with the same programs in both so there is one question:

How interact TC with Windows Explorer? Does TC change OpenWithList in registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\)?

If I open in Windows Explorer some file in different program, it add item under OpenWithList. So for example i try not drag and drop some files to my browser etc to not make my registry full of mess. If I use TC for example for drag and drop or open file in different program, it woks the same way (add item to OpenWithList)? Thank you

TC don't write to OpenWithList itself.
But to do his work, TC works together wit the WindowsTM -API and call original WindowsTM functions.
And if you launch files from TC, the associated application will start and may do such things anyway on there own.

That all is the normal approach of your used OperatingSystem and you will find everywhere tracks of your work.
