[MSH] - Control over name suffix for MSH scripts?

From what I can see in the current MSH release (1.0.7487.0), a script hosted
by msh.exe - even a custom build - can only use a .msh extension.

There may be security reasons behind this, but the fact that this extension
seems to be hardcoded somewhere inside kind of bothers me. I kind of suspect
that every single custom host will end up initially making its scripts use
the .msh extension, which could lead to other problems later on.

Is there a way to change the standard extension recognized as a script file
by MSH, or possibly even add to the list of recognized extensions for custom
script types useful only in certain contexts?

 

Hi,

Did you try the 'Folder Options' in Windows Explorer?
You can also duplicate the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.msh in Registry... but
I not tested yet.

[]s,

MSH doesn't go through there for its script type association. It actually
can't for apparently the same reasons that cmd.exe can't rely on the shell
to associate .cmd and .bat files with it - it would break pipelines.`
