Weird File Association Issue

You can fix this by opening up a Windows Explorer then use the command menu Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Now find the extension you wish to change and click the Advanced button. Here you can do alot of things associated with .avi files, but what you want is the Change Icon funcion. Click it and browse to app that you want to use. Most applications, especially Windows apps, have more than one icon that you can use.

I use the program called MediaPlayerClassic from Soundforge. It plays 'em all except for some Quicktime extensions. Hope this helps...

Hm weird. Try uninstalling the program , then try looking for an option for file associations. Don't vink it.

Uninstall Windows Media Player?

Could be an option too. Try looking for some file association optins in WMP. Maybe that wil work ?

right mouse-click >> Tools >> Options >> File Types

Have a look if the files you want WMP to play are selected.

I don't see File Types anywhere in Options.
