Windows 7 - Preview other file types as text in Preview Pane
I want to preview .js
, .php
, and other file extensions as text in explorer on Windows 7.
Any ideas on how I can accomplish this?
On top of using PreviewConfig, you will also have to add entries into the registry to get it working on Windows 7.
-
Open the registry editor (regedit in the start menu search) and navigate to
computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.FILE_EXT
, whereFILE_EXT
is the extension you want to add, such as.nfo
-
Make 2 new string values (
REG_SZ
) under the file extension's key, Content Type and PerceivedType Set the value of
Content Type
to text/plain andPerceivedType
to text.
I just went to RegEdit> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Classes
Found .log
Added a new String Value with Value Name PerceivedType
and Value Data text
.
Started working straight away.
