File associations in the Windows shell.

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

So I’ve created a number of Windows 10 Registry files for various kinds of ROMs. And I just wanted to share them and ask if anyone knows how to get over the problem with the custom save file location that I added in my Core Override config files not working when I double click a ROM.

Also these registry files will associate the ROMs with RetroArch in with every account on the computer, including any new ones.

My mistake, I have the registry files for creating them on the account you add them to the registry in but they don’t work in every account once they’re added. So here we go, you can use this one as a template. Just copy and paste it into a text file then rename the extension from txt to reg, double click it in install the registry keys.
