# File Type Association Results Pane Columns


In the Application Virtualization Client Management Console, the **Results** pane of the **File Associations** node can display a variety of columns. **Extension**, **Description**, and **Application** are shown by default.

**Note**  
You can add or remove a column simply by right-clicking in the **Results** pane, selecting **View**, then selecting **Add/Remove Columns**.

 

The list can be sorted by any of the columns. Columns that contain dates and times are sorted in chronological order, not alphabetical. For columns that contain a mix of dates and times and text, dates and times are considered to come before any other text.

The available column names contain the following elements.

<a href="" id="extension"></a>**Extension**  
The extension, such as DOC or HTML. This is the field by which the list is organized, so each extension is displayed once on the list.

<a href="" id="description"></a>**Description**  
The description or user-friendly name.

<a href="" id="application"></a>**Application**  
The name and version of the application associated with the default action of this file type.

<a href="" id="parameters"></a>**Parameters**  
The parameters for the default action.

<a href="" id="default-action"></a>**Default Action**  
The name of the default action.

<a href="" id="dde"></a>**DDE**  
Displays **Enabled** or **Disabled** depending on whether Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is enabled for the default action.

<a href="" id="linked-extensions"></a>**Linked Extensions**  
A comma-separated list of other extensions that are associated with the same type.

<a href="" id="confirm-open"></a>**Confirm Open**  
Displays **Yes** or **No** depending on whether **Confirm open after download** is selected.

<a href="" id="always-show"></a>**Always Show**  
Displays **Yes** or **No** depending on whether **Always show extension** is selected.

<a href="" id="shell-new"></a>**Shell New**  
Displays **Yes** or **No** depending on whether the extension is added to the shell’s **New** menu.

<a href="" id="applies-to"></a>**Applies To**  
Displays **User** or **Computer** depending on whether this is a user-specific or computer-wide association.

<a href="" id="icon-file"></a>**Icon File**
