File Types Management in Deployment
The File Types Editor is used to establish file associations on the target computer, by associating file extensions with your application and specifying the actions allowed for each file type.
When you select any file type or action in the File Types Editor, any related properties are displayed and can be edited in the Properties window.
Most items in the File Types Editor can be moved between nodes by dragging with the mouse or by using the Cut and Paste commands on the Edit menu.
