How to make media files open with KMPlayer when you double click them?

[seth1104]

I had a problem when trying to double click on .FLV files in which they won't open. The only way to open these files were to drag and drop them into KMPlayer. So I decided to fix this. This should work on all media file types.

1. Go to "Start"
2. Click "Control Panel"
3. Click "Appearance and Themes"
4. Click "Folder Options"
5. Click on the "File Types" tab
6. Search for your desired filetype to change to the KMPlayer icon
7. Click "Advanced"
8. Under "Actions:" click on "open" then click "Remove"
9. Click "New"
10. For "Action:" type Play
11. For "Application use to perform action:" click "Browse" and find the KMPlayer.exe
12. Click "OK"
13. Then highlight "Play" under "Actions:" and click "Edit" (here's where it gets a little tricky)
14. Under "Action:" change it to &Play
15. Under "Application use to perform action:" delete %1 at the end and add this:
/prefetch:6 /Play "%L"



Here's how it should look:

Action: &Play
Application use to perform action: "D:\Program Files\KMPlayer\KMPlayer.exe" /prefetch:6 /Play "%L"
Use DDE should be checked
Application: KMPlayer
Topic: System



**Note that "D:\Program Files\KMPlayer\KMPlayer.exe" is my location of KMPlayer make sure yours is correct

To open files when KMPlayer is already open:

After you have completed seth1104's list of instructions, make sure that in KMP options, preferences, Associations/Capture, you check the box next to the Ext of the media file type you want to open with KMPlayer when you double click them.

If the Ext you want is not in the Associations list, for example, .FLV, type in FLV and use the "add" button to add it to the associations list.

Now I can double click and play one file after another while KMPlayer is open with no problems, and you should be able too.
