Which OS are you on? I am guessing Vista\Win7?

As you are trying to change a Winamp setting that needs to edit system settings in the registry, there is a trick to make that setting work.

* Find your Winamp Shortcut on your menu.
* RIGHT CLICK the shortcut and select Run as Administrator
* Accept the UAC prompt when it appears
* Now go into Winamp Preferences \ File Types and you will find the option to "Enqueue files on double click in Windows Explorer" which you will want to tick.
* If you want to do extra tweaking of those actions, look at Preferences \ File Types \ Shell Options

Once you have set your choices, QUIT WINAMP.

Now you can restart Winamp as normal, without the "Run As Administrator" option, and everything should work as you need now.

im in Windows XP, Windows Kamaleon for be more specific, but i remember than i can do that before format my pc.

Another thing, thanks for your response but... ur suggestion..., doesnt work, any other idea


:S

[Batter Pudding]

Okay. My instructions were very Vista\Win7 specific as this is an issue that occurs on those OSs due to the different security.

On your XP PC, there should be no problem.

If you skip the first three steps of my instructions and go direct to the preferences - can you see the options I am describing?


And what on earth is "Windows XP, XP Kamaleon"? I do IT support and have never heard of that. It is a custom shell for XP? Where does it come from? And what is it changing for you? (I am trying to understand if it could lead to breaking this Winamp feature)

[Obsdark]

The engines are XP, but the visual things are Vista,

And yes, i can see that options, but i can't do nothing, its like the winamp doesnt want obey.
but yeah, i can see the options skipping the first three steps

and yes... is like a Windows XP mod

[Batter Pudding]

Can you run your modded XP in "Normal" XP mode without the mod loaded? For example, what happens in safe mode?

I am wondering if it is interfering in some way with these registry edits. This is fairly straight forward code and should change the defaults for your OS.


Worth trying - toggle the setting. Turn it off and back on again.

* Go into Winamp Preferences \ File Types and you will find the option to "Enqueue files on double click in Windows Explorer". UNTICK it to turn it off.
* Restart Winamp
* Now go back into Winamp Preferences \ File Types and you will find the option to "Enqueue files on double click in Windows Explorer". TICK it to turn it on.

What now appears on a RIGHT CLICK menu when looking at an MP3 file in Windows Explorer? Are there any entries visible for winamp? Can you see the "Enqueue in Winamp" option?


Another thought - do you have an overly paranoid anti-virus there stopping registry edits? Norton? Spybot Search & Destroy's TeaTimer? Or something overly paranoid?

[Batter Pudding]

There is also another possibility that this could be some kind of translation issue. What language version of Windows are you running? And what language did you pick in Winamp?

True - this is a random guess, but I am trying to work out what else is different with your OS.

Languaje issue, Done

Suggestion, Done

Safe mode?, mmmm i'm not sure about it, U think than can work?

But none of bouth work :S

[QUOTE=Obsdark;2735931]Safe mode?, mmmm i'm not sure about it, U think than can work?
/QUOTE]It would be easier if you can just run XP without the addon. If you have a way of temporarily turning it off while we are testing, that would be good. Turn it back on again when we have finished. I suggested Safe Mode in case you didn't know how to disable that new shell.

YOu didn't answer the question about possible security programs?

[Obsdark]

Well, there are 3 issues in this right now

Safe mode: this mode cancel the sound controlers, but avoid winamp to work, however it doesnt work at all for acomplish our goal.

Security program: None, nothing who can interfere between the Winamp and the PC

The Shell, the Mod, never interfere with winamp before, in fact, this Windows have Winamp like default music program, just for u know.

Any Ideas?

[Batter Pudding]

What language is your OS? I am assuming you are not English. Spanish?

Just to get it right in my head. You went into safe mode, but Winamp would not start?


Have you tried turning the setting off, quiting winamp, then turning the setting back on?

[Obsdark]

Yeap, i speak spanish, thats my home languaje

In safe mode, winamp start but the Sound Card doesnt work, because the Controlers aren't avaible in this mode.
btw, this means winamp in safe mode can be opened, but once opened, you cant play songs, even when winamp try to do that, the soundcard send you a error message, but it seems like this situation doesnt affect winamp program itself in any other way, at least not in the way we need to test the change of options thing on safe mode.

Any Ideas or Clues?

PS: How i can delete completly Winamp and all them extentions?, maybie if i do that (being sure than i delete all the addons too) maybie, this problem can be solve

What you think about it?

[Batter Pudding]

Ah - the Spanish bit is why my suggestions are not explained well enough. Sorry. I will try to be clearer.

Safe Mode Suggestion: Just go into safe mode to see if you can change this setting. NOT to try and use winamp to play music.

Start Safe Mode
Start Winamp
Preferences \ General Preferences \ File Types
Make sure there is a TICK in "Enqueue files on double click in Windows Explorer".

Once the setting is set, then restart Windows as normal and see if it makes any difference.

[Obsdark]

thats the thing i already tried... and doesnt work... :S
