Its basically the same as in windows, but when your trying to set file associations to a program that lives inside a folder that has spaces in it you need to get the ‘short’ name of that folder. In regular windows i use this:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport(‘Kernel32.dll’)] private static extern uint GetShortPathName(string lpszLongPath, [Out] StringBuilder lpszShortPath, uint cchBuffer);

So my question becomes, does anyone know of a built in function i can use to replace the above function, or know of a exacly what this function does so i could recreate it in C#.

    Windows CE, which is the base of WinMo, doesn’t use 8.3 file naming for anything, so I’m certain that you don’t need to use them for defining file associations.
