The goal is to assign file extensions automatically by a script. This has already been done for Firefox. No we need to do that also for .jpg and .png and so forth.

Beware! For ".txt" you can do this (like in old times) with "assoc" and "ftype" BUT NOT FOR image/photo files! For these you must do it with DISM (or some other method). See here:

Reason: Irfan View CAN NOT set this for windows 10! (see screenshot).

SetUserFTA and the binary SFTA is ONLY per user.
Crap.
