File Type Manager

File Type Manager is a simple program that helps individuals manage file types, actions and shell extensions.

The interface is clear-cut and has an outdated design that resembles the classical one presented in Windows 98 and 95. However, it can be easily used by any type of person, without encountering issues or needing extensive experience.

The main window is pretty straightforward. There is a panel in which you can see all the different file types present on the hard drive, including the orphaned ones (not associated with any file type) as well as a small pane that shows some details regarding the selected items.

You can add new shell extensions, actions and file types. In addition to that, you can remove or edit them. When adding file types, you can input the name, extension, icon (ICO) and flags, as well as generate a class ID. For every new action you have to choose the name, command and association.

From the settings panel you can set all file types to load on program startup, along with information pertaining to them. Moreover, refreshing data is possible.

This software utility incorporates a search tool that enables you to look for actions, file types and shell extensions.

For users who still do not know how to work with this application, the developers have created Help contents.

Although File Type Manager is comprised of an outdated interface, it proves to be useful through powerful scanning and editing capabilities, panels that enable individuals to see relevant information, and a fast search tool.
