Try changing it to this

[Version]
Signature = $CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg = Reg.Settings

[Reg.Settings]
HKCR,.mp3
HKCR,.mp3,,,mp3file
HKCR,.mp3\OpenWithList\%MP3EXE%,,,""

MP3EXE = "winamp.exe"
MP3ICON = "%16422%\Winamp\icons\mp3.ico"
MPCPATH = "%16422%\Winamp\winamp.exe"

Lines 9 and 13 are the important ones here, you may not need lines 10, 11, 14, 15 & 33.

i use this and works

REM WINAMP
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File\DefaultIcon" /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Winamp\Winamp.exe,1" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.Playlist\DefaultIcon" /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Winamp\Winamp.exe,0" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.SkinZip\DefaultIcon" /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Winamp\Winamp.exe,1" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.ogg" /VE /D "Winamp.File" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.mp3" /VE /D "Winamp.File" /F
...

from a batch file

I can't seem to get the inf to work at all

This registers the icons but not the application when i try to open a .mp3 file it still tries to open it in notepad, the icons are there but the accocations arn't

it is supposed that you install winamp the normal way so it adds the propper keys, right?

if not you'll also need to add

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File\shell\open\command" /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Winamp\Winamp.exe \"%%L\"" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.Playlist\shell\open\command" /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Winamp\Winamp.exe \"%%L\"" /F
REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.Skinzip\shell\open\command" /VE /D "%PROGRAMFILES%\Winamp\Winamp.exe \"%%L\"" /F

did it worked? i've written from memory

did it worked? i've written from memory

Like a charm nice memory, i'm guessing I can just edit this for different file types to?

edit: yeah i just put winamp in "$progs"
