AFAIK, you'd have to build an ActiveX control to do that. I'd personally be really pissed if I went to a web site that modified my registry without my permission. It'd be a pretty big security hole in IE/Netscape if that was allowed. Imagine the damage you could do...
The only other way I could think is to instruct the user to download the reg file and execute it themselves from your site. -----Original Message----- From: phumes1 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 11:11 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Adding MIME types Hi, Presently I have a .bat file which runs to add mime types into the registry. I have included my .reg file below. Is there a way to have CF add these mimetypes rather than have approximately 50-100 users run this batch file on their PCs? addmimes.bat --------------------- @echo off reg import mimetypes.reg mimetypes.reg --------------------- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dat] @="UltraEdit.dat" "Content Type"="text/dat" "Perceived Type"="text" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dat\PersistentHandler] @="{eec97550-47a9-11cf-b952-00aa0051fe20}" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\text/dat] "Extension"=".dat" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat] @="Text Document" "Old Default"="DatObject" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\UltraEdit\\UEDIT32.EXE\" \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\open\ddeexec] @="[open(\"%1\")]" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\open\ddeexec\Application] @="UEDIT32" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\open\ddeexec\topic] @="System" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\print] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\print\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\UltraEdit\\UEDIT32.EXE\" /p \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\print\ddeexec] @="[print(\"%1\")]" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\print\ddeexec\Application] @="UEDIT32" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UltraEdit.dat\shell\print\ddeexec\topic] @="System" +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------+ Philip Humeniuk [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------+ ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
