When associating files with Xion using the configurator, i found it to be extremely tedious to do all of those one by one. Thus, how about two new buttons in that tab?

Associate All
Associate None

Also, when adding file associations, it only changes the program the file opens with. What i mean by that, is this:

Is it possible to also change the file description along with the associated program? I'm kind of annoyed seeing Winamp icons on some files, and Windows Media Player on some playlist files.

you might need to rebuild your icons via xp?

Ah yup, good suggestions, I'll do that.

Hmm it should be changing both. It definitely does for me, including the description and icon. Which version of Windows are you using? If its Vista, perhaps they've changed the way the registration process works :(

Ew, Vista. I'm not going near that thing until Service Pack 3 or 4. Or perhaps skip it altogether.
