changing file associations
 

I installed KinomaPlay a while back & the damn thing took over every single file association in my system without asking. This annoys me to no end. If the program did not provide totally AWESOME youtube playback I would uninstall it.

Since I don't really want to totally uninstall it, is there any easy way to reassign some of the file associations back to stock??

I know how to assign file associations in every version of Windows except WM, but I can't figure out how to do it in WM. What am I missing??

you still haven't gotten that taken care of.? anyway I ran into the area that will help you last night as happens.

In GSFinder+ , view>options, tab to the right, and there's a tab for File Types.
just click on the extensions you want to change and click edit.
most I looked at were just \windows\wmplayer.exe with parameter= "%1" (including quotes)

no problem, I'm itching to try that player. if you need any specific default settings let me know. btw, I'm curious to see if kinomaplay will relinquish control...

The DL comes with four different cab files, do you install all of them??

Yea, me too. It absolutely infuriates me that I can't click on a jpeg or mp3 without Kinoma opening & going through a scan.........

GSFinder.PPC_ARM.CAB it's one of my "must have's"

Well, either Kinoma won't release control or I am doing something wrong (either one is a distinct possibility).

I only played with this for a short time, but I could select jpeg/mp3 etc. file & it asks what program should be used to open it (just like any version of Windows) & there is a check box to tell it to always use that program, but I can't get it to work.

When I select the program, nothing happens.

Is there any kind of a reg edit that will force a different file association??
