Add .bb to OS Shell?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Add .bb to OS Shell?
Bit techy, but Im guessing it shouldn't be too difficult in Windows XP to add a .bb file to the NEW FILETYPES menu (i.e. when you Right-Click within a window and select "New..." from the shell menu)
Anyone able to help?
its under "C:\Documents and Settings\<NAME>\SENDTO\"
Um... what???
Sorry - I dont think you understood my question, or Ive misunderstood your reply!!!
I think I need to work within the Control Panel - Appearance And Themes - Folder Options. Maybe add a registry setting somewhere.
Ive done this before when I somehow lost the New Bitmap Image item, but I cant for the life of me remember how to do it!
Here is how to do it...
The easy way - wait for my new IDE for BB, it has an option to put that shortcut for you.It will be released in 1 or 2 weeks :)
The "hard" way - open regedit, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ .bb
Add SubKey named 'ShellNew' and in that subkey add string value named 'NullFile'
I think that you are familiar with editing registry keys. If not, don't blame me if anything goes wrong :)
That's great Trixx thanks! I remember something like that now!
And nice plug! :D
------------------------------------------
EDIT:
It still doesn't work.
I've created the SubKey in the right place, and added the StringData and named everything accordingly, but my list still isnt populated :(
Whoops, My mistake :D I totally misread your question :)
Could always do it my way, create new text document, and rename the extenstion to ".bb".

@Malice: Also, you must have some program associated with BB files. What IDE you are using ?
Are you on WinXP ?
No worries, Cygnus :) It happens, mate!
Genexi2 - Yeah, that's how Im coping currently (Im just getting lazy I guess hehe)
Trixx - Im using the standard IDE (Im very used to it now) So the filetype association is there, it's just creating an initial .bb File.
And yeah, Windows XP (Home version)
bump - (sorry)
Any ideas?
