Screensaver Association

Hi,

I am running Win XP Pro with sp2 installed.
I have a small annoyance. I recently installed the program DeliPlayer
2, to play my old .Mod files. This pgm plays various formats including
the old ".scr" format. Anyway, when the box popped up to choose
formats to associate with this pgm, I was half asleep and chose the
default, hence I associated .scr with deliplayer. When I went into
explorer and checked the icons for my screensaver files, they had
changed to the deliplayer icons. I then realized my mistake and went
back into deliplayer and disassociated deliplayer with .scr files. I
thought all was well and good, but when I went back into explorer to
check out the screensavers, the icons reverted to the standard windows
icons, not the icons associated with the particular screensaver. Also
upon double clicking the icon shown nothing happens. When I right
click to get the test, configure, install options, I get the standard
menu options of explorer. Apparently, a dll has been unregistered to
cause this to happen. Any help, please? Sorry for being so long
winded.

Have you tried uninstalling Deliplayer and see if everything will come back
to their normal file assoc.? Else, have you also tried changing the
associations thru folder options/File Associations?

You're best bet is to probably uninstall the deliplyr then reinstall prgm
when you're more accurate and sure of choosing your install options.

GLuck!

Hi Delbert,

I uninstalled Deliplayer and no change. Thanks for the suggestion,
though!

Hi,

I followed one of Malke's posts subject: Changing Icons from 12-7-05
where she mentioned the following link:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm

and this got my scr association back to where it's supposed to be, but
didn't change the standard icons back to the screensaver ones.
Any suggestions on how to do that?
Thanks!

Just a small update,

Silly me, I rebooted and got the original icons back for my
screensavers, and all is well.
Thanks Malke for that tip that you gave me (indirectly.)
