ExtMania (Extensions Management System) is an utility
for managing file extensions and applications intending
for opening and displaying files of certain types.
Possibly, many can remember a situation when a just
installed program, without informing you, associates
with itself certain files that you are used to open and
read with the use of some other utility. On the other
hand, many of you are aware of that some Internet
browsers work faster and are more stable, while others
display certain types of pages more correctly. This is
why sometimes you would rather use a certain program
or, on a different occasion, some other. ExtMania makes
this very easy and convenient. The utility creates
lists of programs working with certain types of files
(having certain extensions). Now, when you click on any
file in the Windows Explorer, a small dialogue box,
which looks not unlike the standard "Open with..."
dialogue, opens. It will offer a list of programs
working with this type of files. The ExtMania allows
one easily managing this list of programs associated
with the file type you choose and delete or edit each
program's properties, such as starting parameters or
icons. Besides, and this is the most interesting
feature, ExtMania monitors all file associations and
automatically adds newly installed programs to the
lists. ExtMania will immediately alert you to any
attempt on the part of any program to associate any one
file type with itself.
