Adding helper applications (MIME types) types via the Windows Registry


Add the following in the registry at

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Viewers]

"application/x-xyz"="browser-handle-internal-savetodisk"

I have tested it on WinNT 4.0 with Communicator 4.05.

For Netscape you have to add/modify keys in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\User Trusted

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Netscape\Live3D\Viewers]
