Print a list of your PC's file associations

Is there a way that I can print a listing of my PC's file associations? I can see them individually in Windows Explorer by selecting View, Folder Options and clicking the File Types tab, but I'd like a print-out of file types, extensions and so on.

Try Association Manager, a free and very useful program by Alexander Peckover, which is available from www.moochers.com. When you open Association Manager, you see an empty, spreadsheet-like grid. To load your associations into the grid, select Settings, Get Current Settings. Oddly, despite being intended for editing associations, Association Manager doesn't offer a way to print them. But have no fear. Select File, Export HTML. This step creates an HTML file with the information in a table. You can print this table from your browser, or copy and paste it into Excel or another program to get more control over how the printed version will look.
