Hello
In order to get to know PB, i started making various small utilities. My latest is an archiver using packer
It all works but now i'd like to expand it a little. Specifically, i'd like to set file associations for support archives and to be able to open my program by double clicking an archive or right clicking a file or folder in Explorer
As far as the file associations go, it's easily solved using Inno setup but just for my own curiosity i'd like to know how to do it in PB. The command line issue has me stomped though. I have very little idea where to look. I'm not asking for someone to solve my problem for me, just gently nudge me in the right direction if possible
Thanks!

Re: Beginner questions about file associations and command line parameters from opening a file
Yea, i saw another post where you mentioned those during my search. So i could simply call those from within my PB program, right? How about adding it to the right click context menu in Explorer? I suspect that's registry only
