ftype

The "ftype" command line tool in Windows is used to display or modify the relationship between file types and their associated programs. It allows users to manage the file type associations within the Windows operating system. Using this command, you can view the current file type associations by simply entering "ftype" without any arguments. It will display a list of file types and their associated programs. You can also modify the file type association by specifying the file type and the program using the following syntax: "ftype =". This allows you to change the default program that opens a specific file type. The "ftype" command is particularly useful for system administrators who may need to enforce specific file associations across multiple machines or for users who want to customize their default program settings. It provides a simple and efficient way to manage file types and their associated programs through the command line interface.
