Change you default audio editing software

Real Title: Change you default audio editing software (right-click -> edit)

Regardsless of the 'Default' application for each audio file type, you cannot directly edit audio files without choosing a new application. I have located the registry key needed to allow you to add a default right-click->edit application.

Open up regedit (type "regedit" in the start menu search box) and navigate to

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\audio\shell\
and add edit then command

Within command change the default to the location of the executable file of your audio editing software:

e.g. "c:\program files\nero\waveedit.exe" "%1"

NOTE: You need to encase the text in quotes ("") & add "%1" in order for your chosen piece of software to open the file you have selected.

Now, when you right-click and select Edit, your newly chosen application will run.

Note: This is especially handy if you use 2 different audio program & don't want to use the 'Open With' option.
