Is there a way to open the music files by double clicking on the music files without having to the open WMP?

Hello

-What happens when you double click on the music file? It opens in another program?
-Don't you make changes to your computer because of which the question began?

Follow these steps and check if they help.

Step 1:

At first I would recommend you change the file association music playing in Windows Media Player and check if that helps.

  • My Windows Media Player does not automatically recognize when a disc is placed in the disc drive.

    My windows media player does not automatically recognize when a disc is placed in the disc drive. I have to put the disc in the disc drive, and then close windows media player, with the disc in the disc drive already, then re-open windows media player. Reopened WMP with the disc in the disc drive, it recognizes the disc in the drive. It then functions well until I need to change the disk at this time I have to start the reboot stop of WMP. This problem has not allways exists just started a few months ago. Thanks for any helpful information.

  • Does not work by clicking the shortcut of Firefox to specific profile when it is already open. What Miss me?

    Well, it's a difficult problem to describe in one sentence.

    I am currently using windows. I have 2 Firefox profiles, and all of them have desktop shortcuts to the:
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla '-no-remote Pei"Developer ".
    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla '-no-remote Pei"lazy ".

    They work very well. The thing is: If the profile is already active and I click on the shortcut, I get the error "Firefox is already running but not responding do not ' (fails just Firefox to open. The current open window still works). The behavior I want is either maximize/orientation of the corresponding window, or open a new window with the same profile. Is it possible to do this? What Miss me?

    I don't know if I'm being clear. In other words:
    -Shortcut to a specific profile works very well
    -When the profile is opened, double-click the shortcut for the office even
    -Receive an error popup "Existing Firefox to run"
    -Press ok, the current profile still works, but new window opens as expected

    You can't open a link if you use the - No.-line of remote control switch.
    You will need to start a profile without the - non-interrupteur to distance.
    Then you can open external links in this instance of profile (but not in the other).

  • Safari 10 not not automatically opening PDF files

    Yes, I have the box checked in the preferences to automatically open reliable files after downloading. I have tried many different websites PDF files now, and none of them does not open automatically.

    I tried to delete the preferences of Safari, but that did not help.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    For security reasons, I don't have Safari 10: preferences: general Panel: Open Safe files after downloading verified. It has nothing to do with the opening of PDF documents in the browser, as it is the function of the OS X Internet plugin default to this end, or the option in Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF plug-in.

    Plug-in Adobe Reader is disabled by default in the 10 Safari: preferences: Security Panel: Internet Plug-ins. You will need to activate it via the plugin settings - if you use it, but with a WARNING WARNING like Safari 10 notes that there are security issues that you can, or perhaps are not willing to accept.

    With Adobe Reader Plug - in disabled Internet, 10 Safari automatically opens a PDF Web site in the browser. There are no preferences special setting to enable this default behavior.

  • How to integrate a pdf document in a pdf existing file so that the user double-clicks the pdf object in the PDF and openness? I looked everywhere on various forums and tried to spare part - but still does not. Thank you

    I have tried different methods but in vain. I have a pdf document and in the pdf, I want to incorporate some pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf inside pdf file object and it will open in a new window. I tried to use attachments for making and connecting... but nothing helps. Someone knows how to do? I use Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thank you

    The common MS Office applications "embed" functionality is not applicable to PDF (for the why and that's why PDFS make uncomfortable and read the ISO standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1: 2008).

    You can insert pages from other PDF files in any given PDF.

    You can attach files to formats supported in PDF format (of course a PDF is supported).

    You can not 'embed '. So, nothing is broken.

    Be well...

  • "*:\ Application not found' (no drive letter of the external device, double-click the drive letter, App not found message...)

    Windows 7 64, noticed this morning after the insertion of a USB key, I double click on the drive icon and a popup with the message in the title appeared. I checked the USB, works very well in the other 3 machines without worries. Digging on the net I found a few options...

    The method to remove the autorun.inf to the reader; has not changed.
    Tried to change the drive F:\ BOF to H:\ letter; Seemed work, however all new default device is "F:\. "and had the same problem. At this point it seemed to me it was just the F:\ player for some reason, then dug around the registry, checked the controlpolicy for drive letters, nothing suspicious here. Next...
    Tried to do a 8MB partition, formatted to 'F:\. "(The letter apparently problematic) and hide with the"NoDrives"Reg entry (so new devices would be default G:\); Does not work either.
    Looked in the AutoPlay options; no difference. I am now about to throw the laptop someone else out the window...
    If I right click on the drive (no matter what I changed to in diskmgmt.msc) I can click on 'Open' and see the content... ARGH! Why not double clicking?
    The first entry in the context menu of the player is "install or run program from your media"... What is c? Why won't it just open the double click like all other Windows machines I've ever used, ever...
    Seriously, I'm about to cross my arms, get in a huff right and throw my toys like many on the pram as humanly possible, what is happening on Earth? I've never had this before and I can't get this sort for love nor money, the lady that has laptop is should not have to "work to spare; to simply open a USB? Is she feeling. The machine works absolutely well outside the conclusion that no external USB is available as usual? I can't face to reformat for her, in addition there are 3 programs again there is no reason for this madness, Google Chrome, Microsoft Office, and Dropbox... Oh and I.S. Commodo...
    Please help, I'll lose my mind on this one... That has never solved this for me I will not mention my next child after you, seriously... Thank you

    Ok...

    I found that the Expert 'IT' (the laptop owners friends 17 years, son... Yes, if we all had a dollar for every time that it caused headaches...) had removed a lot of pre-installed software (Asus K53E) installed "Windows 7 Manager", ran different settings and seems to have stopped many services. He said that he had used black service guide also vipers, and once he had done all the hacks and tweaks and customizations, it took the W7M once it has completed leaving a few programs that are on the machine, so it was 'lightning fast'... * face palm *.
    It has Intel i3-2310 and 4 GB of Ram, the owner which accounts, the company uses only Word, Excel, box deposit and LogMeIn for remote use of its PC works...
    so... I assume that this would explain why these methods don't work, than to go on what you advised, I had already checked all except the patch, the problem still persists.
    I should have checked the services during my first puzzle of really, but got it works by ensuring that all USB services are back to original settings. (Now you tell me what is the fix?)
    I think for most people with the question of the title, as usual you bugs recommended would get people upward and running or issuance autorun.ini I've seen mentioned, unless someone has already gone to town on the removal of any service that they don't like not the look of...
    I went on the lappy and made my own service, and tests to make sure that everything is fine and put an image of the system on its servers of the company, so I can remotely wipe/restore his cell phone... Never tell no computer people you know about computers... Never...
    However, regardless, I'll still name my next child, Arya, because is a beautiful name! Thanks again for your time and help!
    TL/DR: It seems that in this case, it was down to services being stopped by the guru of the 'IT', and my following childs name is Arya. Happy days.
  • I'm trying to download Flash Player 11.4.402.278. However, when I double-click the file to install it, it does nothing? What can I do?

    I went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (11.4.402.278). The download was successful. However, when I double-clicked on the file in the download for Firefox, it did nothing. The file security warning dialog box does not appear. I don't know what is happening. Y at - there someone who can help me?

    The download location by default on Windows Vista is the record of downloads, under your user folder. You could try to close Firefox and check there to see if the Flash installation file has been downloaded... If you see it, double-click on the file. If this does not work, try again:

    After you download the file to install Flash on your computer, open the downloads window, right click on the file you downloaded and select "Open containing folder", then take it out of Firefox before running the Flash installation program that you downloaded.

    See Flash Plugin - keep up-to-date and solve the related problems to the title of the update of Flash... There is a link to download the Offline Installer, if the normal download does not work.
