Nero has stolen my file associations?

[Len Cuff]

Since installing Nero, when I play an AVI for instance it starts in
Nero showtime not media player. Looking at the folder options/file
types, .AVI says it's associated with media player?! How can I put it
back the way it was?

TIA


cheers,
Len

Start> Control Panel> Folder Options> File Types tab> Select the file
extension and hit Change

Open Windows Media Player | Tools | Options |
File Types tab | Click the Select All button |
Click Apply | Click OK

[[If you install other multimedia playback programs on your computer, they
may interfere with your Player file types settings. For more information
about setting file type ownership in other multimedia playback programs, see
the documentation that came with those programs. ]]

[[If you want to make another player the default player for a specific file
type, clear the check box for it in the File types list. ]]

[[If a selected check box is dimmed, Windows Media Player has only partial
ownership of the file type. Multiple file extensions are assigned to the
file type, but the Player only plays some of those extensions by default. To
give the Player full ownership of a file type, double-click the dimmed check
box. ]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.
