I went through the entries the Registry deleting the invocations of that other software but somehow it did not help at al. It was only after adding this to the Registry
that the situation became normal: i.e. I have my icons and the files open themselves in the Winamp. I modeled those above entries from another Winamp associated audio fileformat for which I successively have changed its icon a long time agocode:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE]
@="Free Lossless Audio Codec File"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE\shell]
@="Play"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE\shell\open]
@=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Winamp\\winamp.exe\" \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE\shell\open\DropTarget]
"Clsid"="{46986115-84D6-459c-8F95-52DD653E532E}"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE\shell\Play]
@="&Play in Winamp"
"LegacyDisable"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE\shell\Play\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Winamp\\winamp.exe\" \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Winamp.File.APE\shell\Play\DropTarget]
"Clsid"="{46986115-84D6-459c-8F95-52DD653E532E}"
Although I fear that after once again restoring my operating system from an image and applying to it the now working solution, all of this will once gain somehow break itself. And I base this o the fact that I only had to do that for the APE format, leaving TTA as it was [aside from unblocking it in Registry]. And so I will come back and tell, if everything went well and sustained itself
And on the side note
Is this
thing some kind of ID that will be different on other operating system- like after installation of it from scratch? Or even it will be different on the same machine but with different installation of [in this case] Winamp- like after un-installation and then a re-installation of it? Thus I will have to adjust my REG files after changing computers?code:
Clsid
