XP is asking for programs when clicking multimedia files


Recommended Posts

Even if the file-type setup is set right (as always) XP is asking what

program I like to open the files in (on WAV, MP3, WMV etc). Some other

types always open in "sound recorder" (the old one) even when the

file-type is set to Media Player. Why is XP not using my settings?

What setting do you have in Control Panel - Add Remove Programs - Set

Programs Access and Defaults?

Use my current program. And allow access to "Media Player",

"RealPlayer" and "QuickTime"

 

Strange thing is that if I manually reset all media types (from "File

types") actions. THEN reassign then inside Media Player 10, tyey work.

 

But as soon as I start "RealPlayer" (even if no associations are

changed) the next time I click a media file it ask what program to

use.

 

And when I check the actions for the "File type" they still have PLAY

and OPEN (with media PLayer) both those are not in the file context

menu anymore (only "Open with").

 

Haven't installed anything. Just was this way after my vacation. Must

be som update to some program that has messed up something :-/
