I recently built the shared-mime-info Database[^] for Windows using MinGW-w64. I have also created a C# library for loading and getting data from the database.
If anyone wants, I can put the library, the latest (as of this writing) version of the database, and the update-mime-info executables I built on Github.
I currently have to do some testing to make sure everything works as expected, but I think things should work. The mime data file format is rather simple.
EDIT: Changed tense. build != built

I love throwing a note into a mime's collection - "Learn The Words!" [with thanks to Pterry].

John Cole's Ulster brogue and trademark overcoat were familiar to television news viewers throughout the 1980s.
He was the BBC's political editor throughout most of the Thatcher era when the political landscape of Britain changed irrevocably.
Respected and honest, rare attributes in the Westminster Village.

I liked John Cole, he was a stalwart of the Political Press and was forensic in his questioning.

Hi All,
I hoping to ask the hive mind of Bob what the Elephant happened to a PC that was part of a test rig built some years ago. When dragged from stores (aka dump!) it booted to XP as expected then as it was finishing the boot up sequence tries to run everything via Acrobat. It seems the moment the desktop loads to associate everything with Adobe Acrobat. No, it has never been near an internet connection, I'm wondering if a virus could cause this behaviour all the memory stick that have been near are mine and I did find a couple of W32 Trojans on it as I was retiring it.

Yes it was caused by a virus the biggest of them all, one who messes with your pc and its called WinXp. Acctually it is only version of the mother virus with the name Windows. The new children added to this really dangerous family are called with the code names Windows 7 and the most recently added and the strongest known so far Windows 8.
Good luck
P.S. how long was the motherboard on that tiny little battery of its and not in the power network ?

You've actually got a rock-solid excuse to uninstall acrobat, and you're complaining?
What is the world coming to?

I wouldn't be complaining if it let me do something.

Yeah it does, what I'm wondering was this was when Vista was being 'unleashed' and XP was a fall back, so I chose to install XP, I wonder if there was some legacy left from it. Hmmmmm, ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

I've not seen anyone saying anything about it, but after installing it I must say that is wonderful... it starts fast and it works as it should. 
It has got all the settings from IE10 so it's been really easy to upgrade... as it should too...
Let's see if this will last long...

Are the dev tools (F12) still cr@p compared to Chromes? 
|
|
|
|
|
No idea, never used them. 
|
|
|
|

After a small look at them it seems that Google are slightly better, the difference that I've noticed is that IE still highlights elements while you are updating the styles and so... therefore it makes it much difficult to see what you are doing... apart of that I've seen everything pretty similar...

Because it's an odd version, Microsoft does everything right on odd versions.
