Foobar & Vista File Types, help please... Options

[Shocking]

Hi, I've just got a new PC running Windows Vista Premium, and have recently installed Foobar. Whenever I click 'Associate All' under the 'File Types' setting, I receive the following error message: An error occured while changing file type associations. If you are using a limited account, please contact your system administrator.

I've been searching for a couple of hours now and still I'm none the wiser. I noticed in one of the posts on this site that someone has come up with a file for the registry - would that work? I did manage to associate all the files once, but when I rebooted and tried to remove the associations, I received the same error message. Also, my MP3 files never turned into the red little file icons with the little alien man on them, so I assume it never worked properly anyway. I've tried many uninstalls and etc, and a few suggestions from other posts but none have worked. I can't seem to find anyone else who has had the same probelm either. Any help whatsoever would be much appreciated. I want my Foobar back so I can stop using WMP. Thanks in advance.

Either turn off Vista's (annoying!) User Account Control (UAC) security feature, OR find your FooBar2000 folder, right-click FooBar and select "Run as Administrator", then set the association. Hopefully it will work then.

(Why? UAC means you actually always run as a limited user even if you are an administrator, and that warning box pops up when you are about to be escalated to an administrator temporarily. Security-wise it makes sense, but is annoying for normal users.)

Thanks. I did that, and now I've managed to associate all files without that silly error message. However, my MP3's have still not turned into the little red Foobar alien man, and when I look at my 'Default Programmes' under 'Start' in Vista, it still has them all associated with WMP and I cannot remove the checkbox. Also, when I double click an MP3, it still plays in WMP. Any ideas what next? Thanks again and sorry to be a pain.

Oooh, never mind! I think I've done it now. It was the context menu. Open with, Chose default programme... Always use the selected programme, etc.

Hi,
I used to have the same problem and wanted to have an entry for foobar in the 'Default Programs' menu. So I went to msdn and did a bit of research.
The result is a litte registry file that does what I wanted, if you want to use it too just make sure that the path entries match your installation ('C:\Program Files\foobar2000' for me).

I don't know if the foobar-dev(s?) come to this forum, but if they're interested to put it into this great player here's the link to msdn: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969375.aspx

Hope somebody likes this too and thanks for this great piece of software,

Moderation: Added codebox. And yes, the developer reads this forum.

hopefully Peter can take note if not already intended as this appears to be a standard Vista feature to be implemented... will make all the early adoptors and ensure Foobar is as awesome in vista as it is in xp

[EagleScout1998]

From what I understand, the next service pack for XP (SP3) is going to have those same security "features" as Vista.
