This is a great, I wish someone could remake this to work with Windows 8 & Later using SetUserFTA and add the ability to make file ext. app groups that show up in "default by app" in windows 10/11

This is great utility that manages to handle a number of useful tricky things that have to do with file types (extensions) and the context menu associated with them, and icons, etc. It does quite a bit of really great things that not many applications do, or it might take a few to do what this one piece of software can do.

It hasn't been updated since October 29, 2010. It would be nice to know that the developer is still around and might make a few minor updates to accommodate various changes over the years. Maybe even a little bit of a GUI update?

Otherwise, fantastic! Very powerful and quite easy to use. Highly recommended.
