RemoteApp filte types associations

Question

Hello!

I have Windows server 2016 with RDS.

I have published Notepad++ in RemoteApp. If I open the property of the published Notepad++, the File type Associations section is empty. And I need to add an extension .conf there.

I also tried adding it through the powershell, but got an error: "Set-RDFileTypeAssociation : The specified file type association cannot be modified because it does not exist".

Does anyone know how to make the required extensions appear in the File type Associations section?

Understood. In the case of a Notepad++, it was necessary to synchronize the parameters between sections: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes.conf]
@="conf_auto_file"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\conf_auto_file]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\conf_auto_file\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\conf_auto_file\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\conf_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe\shell\open]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\notepad++.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""
