"Open with.." every time I try to run a file.

[grr]

Hello there!

After using this absolute excellent app to create my unattended installation cds, I've managed

to tick off some weird option that renders my installation of XP senile when it comes to mpg,

mp3, avi, xm, prj, cue, etc files. Every time I want to run one of these filetypes (I'm sure this

goes for all the other unknown filetypes aswell), I have to select the program from the suitable

programs list - which is getting kind of old tbh. ^^

Is there an easy and fast way of correcting this issue, or do I have to reinstall? Not that reinstalling

now is any hassle - but It'd suck if I manage to make my next unattended installation cd with the

same option enabled or disabled.. ^^

In advance;

Thanks for the help!

- grr ^^

no offence here but as you don't precise... did you tick the "always use the selected program... " box ?

If you removed WMP, all associations for video files are lost and it's a normal behaviour. If not... ?

[grr]

Hehe!

Yep, it's checked and still it won't remember. I did however remove WMP pre install, but should that affect the operatingsystems ability to remember which program I want it to use to play my mp3s?

Sounds bit odd to me, but if this is the case; it really wouldn't suprise me a bit.

Microsoft products does tend to operate in mysterious ways... ^^

I'll install the latest WMP and see if it makes any difference.

Only sad bit is that once installed, WMP 10 can't be removed afaik.. :|

Any other views on the situation?

[grr]

Heh, WMP made all the difference...

Thanks. ^^

I have had this before also.

I remember it was a registry cleaner that made this for me.

But I can't remember which one though!

If you use any I recommend

Registry First Aid

and

So this means that I could have had a non-senile Windows install without WMP at all?
