Controlling Priority Between Two Applications

I'm asked quite often how to control the priority between a virtual Excel 2007 and a nomal Excel 2003 (installed as part of Office 2003). The inquisitor needs to be able to control which version when start when the user double-clicks an Excel file. (The answer is in the documentation but it comes up often enough to warrant an answer here).
The Tip:
Use the HKCR priorities to decide on the default application for file extensions.
In this scenario this one liner will make sure that excel 07 wins:
svscmd "Microsoft Office 2007" priority -t hkcr -l 75.4
If the layer is activate at the time, make sure to deactivate/active the layer to apply the changes.

great update, i think a good feature for future versions of SVS would be to allow a GUI driven option from within the trinket or SVS control panel applet to set the priority for SVS apps.
Would you like to reply?
