How to set registry key to make program a default for a particular file type. My program works with .JPG files. I'd like to set the registry to treat my program as the default for such files.
 
Not yet., But I expect to have one soon. Actually, I'm still developing the program and its not quite finished. I'm must working on this to get ready for when I'm done. I have someone helping me with the installer aspect. I didn't realize that the installer could probably set the default I'm looking for. Thanks for that insight.
 
It is also possible to open Default Apps settings where user can choose:
VB.NET:
Process.Start(New ProcessStartInfo("ms-settings:defaultapps") With {.UseShellExecute = True})
