Command Review: ASSOC / part 1
The first command in the CMD Help menu is ASSOC. The description of ASSOC is as follows: Displays or modifies file extension associationsASSOC [.ext[=[fileType]]] .ext Specifies the file extension to associate the file type with fileType Specifies the file type to associate with the file extensionType ASSOC without parameters to display the current file associations. If ASSOC is invoked with just a file extension, it displays the current file association for that file extension. Specify nothing for the file type and the command will delete the association for the file extension.
My impression of this command from the description is that it can be used to maintain a list of file extensions and description of the file types they are associated with; It seems to be able to had the user assign a file extension to a file type, delete associateions, and edit them.
