- In Windows Explorer, Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types tab, Click New, Enter mp3 extension. Here, if it is already associated with some other app, it will complain. Then you need to remove the association from the other app...
- Click Advanced button at the bottom, delete all the Actions, create two new actions - Action Play with Application used to perform field set as
"C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe" "%1"
and Action Enqueue in WinAmp with the field set as"C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe" /ADD "%1"
- Note of course that you need to put in the correct path to winamp.exe on your system, and that if the %1 is not within quotes, you will come to grief with any long filenames!
Mostly work related stuff which I would've entered into my "Log book". Instead of hosting it on an intranet site, outsourcing the hosting to blogger!
