It does this by:
- Scanning your system for offically configured applications (below)
- Scanning your system for any other EXE files with install records in the Windows Registry
Any officially configured applications will have support for high-resolution icons and mime types for automatically detecting what files can be opened by each application. Any other detected executable files will leverage the icons pulled from the EXE.
Note: The officially configured application list below is fueled by the community, and therefore some apps may be untested by the WinApps team.
