File Type in Windows Explorer "Media Center File"

<< < (2/2)

Matt:
I agree this is a good idea.

I think we need to make a bunch of extra types, so instead of just this in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MediaCenter.16.File

We need:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MediaCenter.16.File.MP3
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MediaCenter.16.File.APE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MediaCenter.16.File.JPG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MediaCenter.16.File.M4A
etc.

It seems like there should be a cleaner way but I can't find it.  Does anybody know any tricks for this?

I've been using Directory Opus for several years now and it's wonderful.  An expensive solution but I've never regretted it.

By the way... This drives me bonkers too.  I don't associate MC with anything in Windows because of this, even though it would often be more convenient to have the association.

A fix, even if it requires a ton of extension-specific reg entries, would be awesome.

I just checked, and the extension-specific reg entries is how VLC does it.

This is SO ANNOYING! I can not believe it has not been addressed already.  :'(

JimH:
Turn off file associations in MC.  It's under File Types.
