Solved FLAC files constantly losing association

[RupertSodwind]

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.

Glad it helped.... wmp not my fav. ether but had to fix it to play on my kids computer..lol

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
