How can I restore my Delphi associations without re-installing the IDE?

Question

Today I lost my Delphi-2007 associations; does any way exist to restore my Delphi file associations (.pas, .dpk, etc) without running the installer of Delphi?

Answer 1

Type assoc /? at a command prompt. This will show you how to associate file extensions with file types.

If the basic registry is not corrupted, you can use assoc *.pas BSD.pasfile to reconnect Delphi 2007 with Pascal source files. Repeat the above with the other file types to reconnect them:

assoc *.dpk BDS.dpkfile
assoc *.dfm BDS.dfmfile

and so forth.

If this is too much work, use the registry repair option in the D2007 installer.
