Add .bb to OS Shell?

| Bit techy, but Im guessing it shouldn't be too difficult in Windows XP to add a .bb file to the NEW FILETYPES menu (i.e. when you Right-Click within a window and select "New..." from the shell menu) Anyone able to help? |
| ||
| its under "C:\Documents and Settings\<NAME>\SENDTO\" |

| Um... what??? Sorry - I dont think you understood my question, or Ive misunderstood your reply!!! I think I need to work within the Control Panel - Appearance And Themes - Folder Options. Maybe add a registry setting somewhere. Ive done this before when I somehow lost the New Bitmap Image item, but I cant for the life of me remember how to do it! |

| Here is how to do it... The easy way - wait for my new IDE for BB, it has an option to put that shortcut for you.It will be released in 1 or 2 weeks :) The "hard" way - open regedit, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ .bb Add SubKey named 'ShellNew' and in that subkey add string value named 'NullFile' I think that you are familiar with editing registry keys. If not, don't blame me if anything goes wrong :) |

| That's great Trixx thanks! I remember something like that now! And nice plug! :D ------------------------------------------ EDIT: It still doesn't work. I've created the SubKey in the right place, and added the StringData and named everything accordingly, but my list still isnt populated :( |
| ||
| Whoops, My mistake :D I totally misread your question :) |
| ||
| Could always do it my way, create new text document, and rename the extenstion to ".bb". >.> |
| ||
| @Malice: Also, you must have some program associated with BB files. What IDE you are using ? Are you on WinXP ? |
| ||
| No worries, Cygnus :) It happens, mate! Genexi2 - Yeah, that's how Im coping currently (Im just getting lazy I guess hehe) Trixx - Im using the standard IDE (Im very used to it now) So the filetype association is there, it's just creating an initial .bb File. And yeah, Windows XP (Home version) |
