Open with...Help

[zungul]

[FONT=&quot]Hi, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
I have a very strange problem. I don't know what reason is.
When I want to open video file (.avi) automatically is opening in WinAmp which I just used before for audio files. I tried to use option "Open with.." but when I chose the program I want to use to open this file, icon of this application didn't show up in the window of recommended programs (windows where there are icons of programs which you can use to open particular kind of file)
When open the program (Zoom Player), and I try to open video file, everything was working., but still I don't understand why I cannot set up this option for ever. Not every time to go to Zoom Player and from this program look for .avi's files to open.
If someone knows how to solve this problem and will help me, I’ll really appreciate it.[/FONT]
P.S.

My OS is win 7 x64

Hello zungul

In vista there is an option there to choose a default program. not sure about win7.
Check: control panel > default programs ?

I did already everything but problem is that when I Right Click to go to Open with >> Choose program >> Select the preferred program this program doesn't appeared in windows and I cannot click ALWAYS USE THIS PROGRAM..........
When I open up Winamp and go to preferences, and uncheck the avi files checkbox nothing changed and still is opening .avi files with Winamp

Hello Zungul,

Using the AVI download in the tutorial below will restore the default AVI associations. Maybe afterwards it will allow you to select the EXE file of the program that you want to use to open AVI files with by default instead.

Hope this helps,
