Codec Guide

When I open file from menu in WMP. I choose my folder music but I only see wma files in this folder. I can't see mp3 files. Although I had choose media files (all types). In Windows Explorer I still see mp3 in that folder
How I can fix. Pls help me!

This registry script should fix that. It resets the file extensions that are listed in the open files dialog to the default values.

Code: Select all

Note 1: you may need to change "C:\\WINDOWS" to the location of your Windows folder, in case that is different.

Note 2: Re-install the codec pack if you want non-standard extensions (such as .mkv, etc.) to be added to the list.
