gheron Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 HiMaybe this will help youGo ToMyComputer-->Tools--->FolderOptions and under the file types tab, associate the program you want to open certain file types.You dont have to go through them all, just your most used.

TWILL Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I am having the same problem. But just with windows media player files like wmv.I did check the box too. (always use the selected program to open this kind of file)When I look in the file type tab, windows media player is already associated with this type of file but I still get prompted asking me what I would like to open with....This is what is in the OPEN command in the advanced section in the file types tab:"C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:7 /Open "%L"Is this correct?Anyone now how to fix it?I think it may have been a registry setting.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) Go into Folder Options > Click the filetype, click "Advanced", click "Open", click "Edit", browse to WMP (I suggest you use Media Player Classic ), click OK. Click Change Icon, browse to WMP executable, click icon you desire, click OK. Finished. Fixed? Edited November 26, 2005 by Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWILL Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey JeremyThats exactly what I was doing but for some reason it never saved the setting. Well I got tired of messing with it so I ended up just reinstalling WMP10 and now it works fine.Thanks anywaysTWILL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
