Creating a custom file type and having it open in the same window by default?
I’m trying to design a file type [XPI] used by Firefox and other Mozilla products to auto-open when clicked on opening in any current browser window you have. I was successful in making the file type but getting it to open in the same window was a whole different story. Can anyone tell me how to correctly write the commands in Edit [Under Folder Options > File Types > then choosing the file type > Edit] so that they do in fact open in a current window than trying to open in a completely new one?
Thanks.

Okay... I've gone ahead and pulled the entries IE uses in the registry to open html files in the same window via the context menu:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open] @="Open in S&ame Window" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec] @="\"file://%1\",,-1,,,,," "NoActivateHandler"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="IExplore" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic] @="WWW_OpenURL" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\INTERN~1\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome" Anyone?

I realize that this isn't really programming at all. However, since you didn't seem to be having much luck here, I thought I'd bring that up as a possible alternative. Since our programming forums won't work, have you tried <a href="http://www.neowin.net/forum">Neowin</a>? There are alot of knowlegable people there as well. If that doesn't yield a result, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Sorry I coudln't be of more help.
