ActiveSync uses the registry entries to determine which conversions are available for a given file type and how to invoke the filter that supports the conversion. Each file type and its filter must therefore be registered.

To register file types and their filters

  1. Register the file extension type.

  2. Generate a class identifier (CLSID) for the file filter.

  3. Register the file filter.

    Note:
    CEUTIL, a utility DLL, has functions that are helpful when dealing with the desktop registry entries for ActiveSync. For information about CEUTIL, see Using the CEUTIL Helper DLL for ActiveSync.
