They finally made a CLI version of it a decade ago and it works exactly as it should when setting up a new system with a script.

I like your Windows postings, please don’t stop!

I swear they used to have a feature which offered to find a program that would open that type of file from the internet - it NEVER worked, but they did have the feature.

Good post but those images are way too small for me to see anything without having to open a new tab or navigate away, neither of which is fun to do when there are 10+ images

Something went horribly wrong on my computer and it takes about 2 minutes for that dialog to load.

This is such a typical pattern of enshittification from Microsoft. Something Windows 3.1/95/2000/XP made easy - adding a File Type Association - became increasingly contorted over time.

If I recall correctly, in Windows 7 they removed the File Types Manager and you had to either edit the registry directly to adjust existing associations, or resort to a third party app.

By Windows 10 even simply creating a new association for an unrecognized extension seems to require more clicks and scrolling down to a hidden option.

I would love to meet the mastermind morons behind this himan-unfriendly UI and give them a piece of my mind.

raplayer.exe is stirring up some nostalgia...
