TXT=txtfile and press Enter at the command line.
Determining and Creating File Types with the FType Command
The FType command can display the open verb action or set the action for this verb for any file type
on your system. You can also use it to create new file types as needed to express a specific file
requirement. The FType command only works with the open verb, not any of the other verbs (such
as print) that the file type might contain. Even so, this command is invaluable in setting up a system
quickly.
A file type always includes the file type name and the associated action. For example, if you type
FType txtfile at the command prompt and press Enter, the FType command responds with
txtfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1 on a system using the default setup. In this
case, txtfile is the file type. The action appears after the equals sign. The %SystemRoot% environment
variable points to the Windows directory on your machine. The System32 directory contains
many of the executable files including both EXEs and DLLs. The application that Windows starts
to load is a text file in Notepad. The %1 after Notepad is a placeholder for the file.
