my pda (dell axim x51) wont remember to open mp3's with windows media player. when i try to open a mp3 it says something like "please open the file in the desired program".... so i do, but it doesnt remember it. so... is there a way to manually set the file association

Do the files have the Windows Media icon? I don't have a problem opening the app by tapping on a file, and I didn't adjust any settings (I don't see any to adjust).

Hi!
Just download this: PocketTweak v4.2.7
It's freeware and you can manage the files associations. It's one of my essentials.

Thanks, that's interesting.

Does anyone with Pocket Tweak know exactly what exe .doc files are associated with?. I screwed around with my pda and now my Word doc's appear as blank icons. I tried using Pocket Tweak to fix the problem by associating my doc files with pword.exe. in the windows directory. I can open the files with Word but the icons haven't changed (even after 2 soft resets.) Help!.

* Get a registry editor
* Navigate to the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\docfile\DefaultIcon
* Change the (Default) value to:
officeres.dll,-13072

I was away on vacation and didn't see the post. I tried that (officeres.dll,-13072) and it fixed the problem. Thanks!!
