Automatically Open README, LICENSE files

Postby rcflyer2005 » Thu Mar 26, 2009 4:08 pm

Can UltraEdit v14.20.1.1001 be configured to automatically open files with out an extension, such as README, LICENSE,HELP, etc files when I clilck on them? I always get the Windows "Open With" dialogue.

Thanks.

If you would like UltraEdit to ALWAYS open files that do not have an extension, then this can be done.

This will be for any file that does not have an extension, not just README, LICENSE, HELP, etc. Any file that does not have an extension this will work for. This has only been tested on Windows XP SP2+, so I don't guarantee it will work on Vista.

Go to Advanced->Configuration->File Associations
In the "File types/extensions" box, type a period "." (without the quotes.)
In the "Description:" box type whatever you want to call this. I put "No Extension" in mine (without the quotes.)
Click "Add".
Click "OK".

That's all there is to it.
