Missing install option for ini anf ttf font files
There is no "install" option when I right click an ini file or ttf font
files. I checked the registry keys listed he http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;250430 But they are fine on my machine. Any ideas what could be causing this? -- Spartanicus |

The article you mention has nothing to do with .ini files or .ttf font
files. Neither of those is supposed to have an install option in the right click. That applies to .inf files. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.html On Mon, 19 Sep 2005 18:44:33 GMT, Spartanicus wrote: There is no "install" option when I right click an ini file or ttf font files.

Typo, ini should be inf. I know that the article has nothing to do with TTF files, but it seems more than coincidence that they also do not produce an install option. I'm assuming that both problems are caused by the same issue. -- Spartanicus |

Typo, ini should be inf. I know that the article has nothing to do with TTF files, but it seems more than coincidence that they also do not produce an install option. I'm assuming that both problems are caused by the same issue. Again... there is no right-click Install option on a .ttf font so it is not a coincidence at all. You only have one problem, and that is a missing right-click install on the .inf file. If you have no rightclick install, then make up a file from the lines below. Copy into a file called inf.reg which should be created in Notepad. Do not retype, copy in case of errors. The 1st line in the file is the line REGEDIT4 The last line must be a blank line. Make sure your mail or news reader does not add any spaces to the end of a line. Doubleclick to restore the association. This assumes that you have set up Win9x using the standard "c:\windows" folder syntax. The last text line starts with @= so be careful it does not wrap at the space before DefaultInstall. E-mail me if you have any queries on this procedure. -----copy below this line for inf.reg------------ REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.inf] @="inffile" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile] @="Setup Information" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\shell32.dll,-151" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\open\command] @="C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\print] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\print\command] @="C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE /p %1" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\install] @="&Install" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile\shell\install\command] @="C:\\WINDOWS\\rundll.exe setupx.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %1" -----end file above this line------- ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.html |

Copy into a file called inf.reg Thanks Alan, that fixed it. I'm used to looking over what an inf contains before I allow it to be added to the registry, so I had inf files associated with UltraEdit, this must have wrecked the install option. -- Spartanicus |
