How to view replays by double clicking on them

In the "Viewing Replays" thread it says, that you can watch replays by double clicking on them.
This does not work on Windows Vista and 7, so I made a little script, that enables this feature again.

Step 1:
Download this file and open it with a ZIP Program (WinRar for example).

Step 2:
Select the right file for your System and put it in your Wacraft III folder.
If you have a 32-Bit Windows, chose the 32Bit file, if 64-Bit, chose the 64-Bit file. If you don't know your Windows version, look here.
If you did not install Warcraft III to the default directory ("C:\Program Files\Warcraft III" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III") choose the Custom file.

Step 3:
If you chose the Custom file, open it with Editor (rightclick->open with or rightclick->edit) and follow the instructions in it.
Copy of the instructions:

Replace CUSTOMPATH with the path to your Warcraft III folder
This is the folder where "Warcraft III.exe", "Frozen Throne.exe" and "war3.exe" are located
If your Warcraft III folder is for example C:\games\blizzardgames\Warcraft III\ then the last line has to be:
"C:\games\blizzardgames\Warcraft III\war3.exe" -loadfile %1

Step 4:
Find a replay, right click on it, hover your mouse over "Open with" and click on "Choose default program". Mark "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click on Browse. Navigate to your Wacraft III folder and select the file you put there in Step 2. Click on OK.

Step 5:
You should now be able to open any replay just by double clicking it.



I am not sure whether this belongs in the "Technical Support" section or in the "Tools" section and whether this has been posted before. I didn't find it with the search function.
I would be glad, if this would get in the FAQ.
