• Expanded start-up checks;
  • Now the script checks and removes all IP addresses added to hosts file that block Microsoft recourses added by harmful tweaker WindowsSpyBlocker;
  • Now the script checks whether Microsoft Edge is installed, and if not it will be downloaded and installed.
• Improved and fixed Set-Association function
  • Now you can associate extensions with protocols: Set-Association -ProgramPath MSEdgeMHT -Extension .html.
• Added Export-Associations and Import-Associations to let user export all Windows associations and import all Windows associations from a JSON file;
  • Export-Associations exports Application_Associations.json to script root folder;
  • You have to install all apps to the same folders according to an exported JSON file to restore all associations, unless this extension will be skipped;
  • Import-Associations lets you import Application_Associations.json via an open file dialog;
  • This is more of a proof of concept (and may contain bugs) which shows that is possible to restore associations from an old PC to a new one (like in some harmful tweakers like Modern Tweaker and Win10Tweaker provide). But I'd not recommend to rely on this approach. Better do it manually. But the functions work. 🐱
