by Extension

The current association is linked to files of a certain extension. Type the extension in the text box labelled Extension:

File name starts with

The current association is linked to file names that begin with what you type in the text box labelled Starts With:. This is useful if the file you have opened does not have extensions in its names.

File name contains

The current association is linked to file names that contain whay you type in the text box labelled Contains:.

Note

You can specify more than one extension or string contained in a file name. Separate each extension or string with a comma. For example, if you want the current association to be associated with 'pcx' and 'bmp' files, type 'bmp,pcx' in the Extension: text box.
