To make a list of which Windows application is associated with different file types, you could copy files into a folder, or a flash drive, with the file extensions for the file types. Then, list the files in DDFileCatcher with the file properties "Extension" and "Application Name" selected. The files could be dummy files, for example empty text files, with the extension changed to the ones you want. This method could be used to do an inventory of which applications are installed on a company's computers.
Type is a file property in a category we call File information.
We call file information properties properties that all files have, such as "Size" and "Date Created".
