Nero 7

[vash]

hi,

i just installed nero 7 and it changed all my music/video files to nero files, and i wish to keep my files in windows media format. when i uninstalled the vid/music features on the nero software, all my files reverted to some kind of dat file. i'm unable to restore my pc. my question is how do i restore all my music/video files back to windows media player format? thank you.

I dont have wmp installed but if I remember right you go to Tools/options/File types you should be able to change it back there

thanks for your quick reply. where is the location of the t00ls/options/file command located?

Open your windows Explorer, go to Tools -> Fold Options -> File Types. Choose the file extension you look for and click Advanced and click Edit to change

kay i followed those instructions, but couldn't figure out how to adjust my file type accordingly.

Pick AVI, for example, you click Advanced, click Open in the Actions and click Edit. In the Application used to perform action, browse to the Windows Media Player root directory and select Windows Media Player.exe and click OK. Do the Play action if it is included in the Actions section. Do the same procedure with all the file type you want to change

benbryant,

so i just noticed your in oahu... i'm in ewa haha. shucks i'm sorry but i'm still unable to correct my problem. i'm trying to follow the steps, but just to many files to pick from. can of worms.

Just patiently do one at the time. Just take care of all the video audio file extensions first. When you installed Nero 7, the Nero ShowTime liked to take over the default player. That why you have to select manually your selected default player and opener for each file type. Just remember that in the future if you want to install Nero 7 again, choose Custom Installation so that you can install what you like only

In Media Player Tools -> Options -> File types see that file types
needed are checked. (select all).
