Vista - How to change file type actions?

I want to change what happens when a file is clicked on.
If the default action on a MP3 is open or play, I would like for the
default action to be Enqueue. I have already changed the default program,
now I just need to change the action.

OH yea, I am running Vista Home Premium

Haven't tried it yet for Vista, but I would guess the standard hack would do
it.

Look at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3file\shell\open
note the Default value is 'none'
Look at:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mp3file\shell\play
note the Default Value is '&Play'

Change enqueue to none and open to &Open

Be sure to export a reg file before you try this.

Those are actually the string descriptors for that action verb, and do not
actally affect anything except for the displayed text.

If the application in question is using:
mp3file\shell\enqueue
, then it would likely be more beneficial to set the value:
mp3file\shell
to "enqueue". But directly editing file associations isn't a really viable
idea - it would be easier if the application itself supported setting this
default. =\

File Type Doctor is good, but it's not free, and comes bundled with other
stuff that I do not find that useful.
