Hi

Host is Windows XP Professional SP3.

I have created some shell extension under the following key:-

HKCU\Software\Classes\SystemFileAssociations\video\shell

With the name "open.action_1", "open.action_2", etc.

These extensions show up correctly when I context-click on .avi and .wmv
files, but they do not show up for .mov files.

I have added the following keys:-

HKCU\Software\Classes\.mov
@ MOVFile
"Content Type" video/mov
"PerceivedType" video

HKCU\Software\Classes\MOVFile\shell\open\commane
@ "C:\Program Files\MPC\mplayerc.exe" "%1"

From the documentation, setting the PerceivedType key should be
sufficient, but evidently it is not. What keys are missing to make the
shell extensions show up?

Regards,

Chris Hills
