Sorry again for how long it's taken me to reply... I kept checking the page for updates without noticing there was a page two, I feel like such an id***! That worked great Yzöwl thanks! Thank you all for your help and patience, I really appreciate it and I've learned a new trick!

Thanks so much for the replies! Sorry it's taken me so long to come back and check! Prathapml - Thank you, that does work! I was kind of hoping to be able to just open any mp3 though (Rather than one specific mp3), but that'll certainly work if that's not possible. Thanks! Yzöwl - That looks really good, it looks like it would do exactly what I want, but when I went into regedit I couldn't find the folders you have - There's no .mp3 or mp3file folders in my 'Classes' folder... I'm using Windows XP, if that makes a difference. Sorry, I'm really no expert at these things - The main reason I'm doing this rather than just opening the two programs seperately is to learn more about what's possible, but it unfortunately means I need step by step kind of instructions to really understand : \ Gunsmokingman - That looks really good too! I'm not sure if I have VBS though, that's Visual Basic isn't it? Unless there's something that comes with windows to run that I'm afraid I don't have it... Thanks again for all the help, it's really great of you to take the time! Sorry I need to ask all these extra questions...

Ah darn, ok, thank you! Hm, I don't suppose it would be possible to make a .bat and then have the shortcut open that .bat? Is there some way to tell the .bat file to open 'winamp.exe' with 'song.mp3' when you click on 'song.mp3'? Or can a bat just open a program, not load something into it? I've never really made a .bat before, I have a rough idea of how to do it but no idea of what you can actually do with it ; ) Thanks very much for the help anyway!

Hello! I'm just wondering if this is possible... Can you set things up so that when you open a certain type of file, it opens two programs at once? For example, if I doubleclick on an mp3 file, it plays that file in my player and also opens a game? Thanks for any reply!
