File associations, advanced open/play settings?
I copied Windows XP Sound Recorder for when I just want an
instantaneous hearing of the sound. Associated WAV files with it. But how do you set it to automatically play the wave file and then close? In Windows XP, you just clicked on advanced file association properties, that sort of thing. And you appended "/play /close". I don't see any place to adjust that stuff. I suppose it's in the registry. Thanks. |

I looked, I found.
Searched for "sndrec32" in the registry. Changed the command. "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sndrec32.exe" "%1" /play /close Thanks to any answers that might already be in the queue.

I have used it in Windows 7 to set the default operation and any number of alternate operations for a given file type or extension. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/file_types_manager.html -- Crash "When you get to a fork in the road, take it." ~ Yogi Berra ~ |
