You would have to associate the new extension with having the shell execute your app.

Why would you want to do this ?

An executable comprises of multiple sections, which the operating system will read to know how to load it into the memory and run. By explicitly renaming the extension of a file, you're putting this mechanism out of picture by telling the OS that it isn't an executable file.

So, If you rename the file to .abc, the application associated with this extension (if any) will attempt to handle it.

Why do you want to do such a thing, and what kind of application are you writing, are other questions though...

WinZip doesn't rename an exe and execute it anyway. It just opens some types of file (like zip) and those zip files are not executing themselves. Self extractors have little to do with it - they are actual exe files and no attempt is made to hide that fact.

So, you just need to associate your application with the file types that it can handle. Your query has nothing to do with executable files. Please read up on the basics.

Have a look at System File Association[^] (C#)
File Association in VB.NET[^] (VB .NET)

What have you tried ? What do you understand about how threads work ? Why do you want to use them ?

I tried this Simple Database Application - Part 1
using thread allows access to the database by several users at the same time and perform all processing updates on the database (identification, addition, modification, consultation, delete, printing ..) and memory management.
thank you once again

Hi,
I have two parameters as follows:
string scriptText = MsgBox "hello";
string MachineName = "targetMachineName"

I would like to create a file called sample.vbs which will have the scriptText in it.
This file will have to be saved in the c directory of the MachineName.

How is this done please?
Thanks

Christian Graus9-Jun-09 0:05

File.WriteAllText ?

What have you tried ? What is the target machine, is it on your network, and if not, how is it your target ?

I think this is to do with the streamwriter or something similar.
Target machine is any machine on the network.
Thanks

File.WriteAllText with a network path, if you have access to the machine. If you don't, then you don't, no matter what.
