    FLAC files constantly losing association


    Hi
    I have a number of FLAC files in my Music folder.
    Although I have set an association for these to play in Foobar Windows 7 keeps forgetting this and I get the usual message: Windows can't open this file etc... so I have to reset it.
    Does anyone know of a fix for this?

    Hey, Fantastico! That works.
    I was a little dubious at first since WMP is not my player of choice - I'm very satisfied with Foobar - however, Win 7 at last remembers what a FLAC file is.
    Thanks for help.

    when you set flac to open with foobar... you right clicked/open with/choose default program/foobar... but before hitting ok did you check box to always use that program as default?? just checking...lol i missed it b4

    Yeah, that's what I tried to start of with but W7 didn't remember it.
    The codec sorted it out fine
    Thanks
