# PORTABLE Registrator
### for Windows 7, 8, 10 (untested 11)
Also got into trouble using your favorite browser or mail program on a pendrive?
Then this one is for you!
Easily register any portable app as a default program in Windows.
This will allow you to directly open weblinks (http/https URLs) with the portable browser of your choice.
### Configuration
#### Default
On the first start a configuration file is being generated to provide default settings for the AppTypes.
The default available AppType are:
```
Web-Browser
-url "%1"
.htm
.html
.shtml
.xht
.xhtml
http
https
ftp
Mail-Program
"%1"
.xpi
.eml
.msg
.ics
.mbox
mailto
```
To be as flexible as possible, you can extend any kind of application within the configuration file.
For any app specific needs, other than browser or mail, try adding a new "AppType" section there.
#### Example
```
... (other AppType elements)
Image-Viewer <--- 1.
-parameter "%1" <--- 2.
.jpg <--- 3.
.gif
...
view <--- 4.
```
#### Steps
1. Name the new AppType
1. Set the supported open parameter of the program (`%1` passes the parameter to the portable executable)
3. Register all file associations
1. Register all URL associations, if not needed remove the lines inbetween
At best copy a full AppType section and edit it to your needs.
Possibly not every software will work, but give it a shot and share your experience.
You can use the ADD Button to easily add new Program-Types.
After manual editing the Reset-Button will now also reloads the Configuration file and repopulate the Program-Types.
CLI-SUPPORT:
------------------------
AppTypes can be printed out from the existing configuration file, by simply giving a string to search for a AppType's name.
Check `PortableRegistratorCLI.exe /?` for more info.
Have fun and enjoy.
#### CONTRIBUTION:
Please post your custom configs for implementing more standard apps under issues, so I can add them to the repo.
Thank you, guys.
