Windows File Association Command Line Tools

I should have put this in my book

I just learned two Windows command line utilities that I never knew existed: assoc and ftype.

Both will display or modify the file association list, and are essentially the command-line counterparts of the Windows Explorer GUI that we normally use to view and modify file extension associations.

Type either one in alone to view current file associations.

I learned both from the following website:
http://commandwindows.com

Thanks to friend Bryce Galbraith for the web site link.
