troycicle Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 My mp3s are defaulted to play with PowerDVD 6.0, and my mp4s play with Nero Showtime. I want my mp3s to play with Media Player Classic that's included with the Kazaa Lite Mega Codec pack. The icon I want the mp3s to use is located in C:\Program Files\K-Lite Codec Pack\codecs.ico. I want my mp4s to play with PowerDVD 6.0. I want my mp4s to use the icon everything associated with PowerDVD uses. I know there's a lot of registry changes to be made, and I need some help with this.

Yzöwl Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Try this, save it as mpassoc.inf or something similar:[Version]Signature=$CHICAGO$[DefaultInstall]AddReg=Reg.Settings[Reg.Settings]HKCR,.mp3HKCR,.mp4HKCR,mp3file,,,"MPEG Layer 3 Audio"HKCR,mp3file\DefaultIcon,,,"%MP3ICON%"HKCR,mp3file\shell,,,"open"HKCR,mp3file\shell\openHKCR,mp3file\shell\open\command,,,"""%MPCPATH%"" ""%L"""HKCR,mp4file,,,"MPEG4 Video"HKCR,mp4file\DefaultIcon,,,"%MP4ICON%"HKCR,mp4file\shell,,,"open"HKCR,mp4file\shell\openHKCR,mp4file\shell\open\command,,,"""%PDVDPATH%"" ""%L"""HKCU,%SMWCEF%\.mp3,Progid,,"mp3file"HKCU,%SMWCEF%\.mp4,Progid,,"mp4file"[Strings]SMWCEF="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts";Editable StringsMPCPATH="%16422%\Media Player Classic\mplayerc.exe"MP3ICON="%16422%\K-Lite Codec Pack\codecs.ico"PDVDPATH="%16422%\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe"MP4ICON="%16422%\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe,0"Just check that the path locations are correct in the four editable strings at the bottom, (%16422% means Program Files).

troycicle Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 I took out WMP and WMP 6.4.

troycicle Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 When I go into Media Player Classic, and associate mp3's with it, it makes these changes.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mp3file\shell]"mplayerc.exe.bak"="open"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mp3file\shell\open]"LegacyDisable"=-"LegacyDisable.bak"=""[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mp3file\shell\open\command]@="\"C:\\Program Files\\K-Lite Codec Pack\\Media Player Classic\\mplayerc.exe\" \"%1\"""mplayerc.exe.bak"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\wmplayer.exe\" /prefetch:6 /Play \"%L\""This works, and all my mp3's play with it. When I install PowerDVD 6.0, a bunch of associations get changed. MP3's are now associated with MPEG files. All MPEG files are associated with PowerDVD. If you change one association, like mp3's, all of the other associations for PowerDVD get erased. I want my avi's and mpeg's to play with PowerDVD, just not my mp3's. Please help!
