Hi,

This is what I did and this is what regEdit reports happened. Take note  
that I forced Windows to recognize the document icons and it added two  
lines to the regEdit for Intuition:


   get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mtml\","Intuition")

   get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intuition\","Intuition MTML  
document")

   get  
setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intuition\DefaultIcon\","C:\Program  
Files\Intuiion\Intuition.exe,1")

   get  
setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intuition\shell\open\command\","C:\Progra 
m Files\Intuiion\Intuition.exe %1")

RegEdit results: Please take note that the entry for  
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intuition\DefaultIcon data = 0. Is this what you get  
after setRegistry() for DefaultIcon set to ,1  ?
