How do you change program associations?

How do you change program associations in PPC2002? I copied WinamPAQ over to my Axim, and when I manually run it and open an MP3, it works fine, but the default program for opening MP3's is Media Player.

Also, the default for opening mpeg movies is (interestingly enough) Rasco picture viewer. That I also want to change (to Media Player).

I use PocketTweak, from Tillanosoft: www.tillanosoft.com. It installs a Control Panel applet that allows you to tweak a number of settings.

You can also do it manually, with a Registry editor. Not adviseable...

Hah, wonderful! A PPC version of TweakUI (though not made by MS of course)!

A note though, for extentions, using the "..." (browse) button, it only applies to things installed in a suppemental memory directory, not things in Program Files. WinamPAQ was the only program that showed up there.

Windows Media Player is in the Windows directory (player.exe), so I had to type in that path manually.

Oh yeah, PocketTweak also lets you choose fonts.

Is it possible to install new fonts? All I have are wingdings and 2 system fonts. I'd like to use something new and crisp, like Arial, or Trebuchet. Can I just copy those *.ttf files into a directory on my PPC?

Edit: There is a folder called Fonts in the \Windows directory (on PPC), but there aren't any files in it. Tahoma is the standard PPC font, but there is no Tahoma.ttf in that folder.
