Hi
When I access Control Panel/Folder Options/File Types, the Extension
(NONE) Audio CD is no longer listed. Could someone please advise me
how this can be reinstated.

Bill
Thanks for trying Galen but I'm afraid it didn't work. Audio CD has notGalen said:In Bill P had this to say:
My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:
#1. I don't know if this will work.
#2. I'm certain it won't harm anything.

Inside that there's a .reg file. (You can read it in notepad to ensure I'm
not doing anything evil of course) which you should be able to click and
have merge with your own registry. A reboot should NOT be required. After
that you should, once again, have audiocd as a file type. Keyword?
Should... I can't be 100% certain that it will recreate it in your system
but I'm 99.9% sure it should and I'm 110% certain it won't break anything.

Hi ClaymoreClaymore said:Hi,
First check to see if the key for AudioCD is listed in the Registry.
Go to Start => Run and type in "regedit" {without the quotes}
Navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
AudioCD
It should be there, but maybe with just the entries you put there from
the downloaded reg file you got.
You should see, as sub-folders with entries:
AudioCD
=> DefaultIcon
=> shell
=> => play
=> => => command
Report back what you see.

Copy the following to Notepad, and save as "audiocd.reg". Right-click the
file and then choose Merge.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AudioCD]
@="AudioCD"
"BaseClass"="Drive"
"EditFlags"=dword:00000002

Can you export the "AudioCD" (export as REG format) registry branch and
post
here?

Hi Claymore
I have just tried that fix but again it did not work. When I double click
the CD icon I still get the same error message.
I think I am going to have to accept that there is a glitch in the system
and work around it.
