I cannot get MPC-BE to play .avi files by double clicking them in Windows Explorer. This is from a standard user account. The files play with MPC-BE if I open the program and then use File --> Open or if I use the context menu (Open with...) in Windows Explorer. They also play if I double click them in an administrator account. So I wonder if it has something to do with permissions concerning MPC-BE.
Please note that if I use VLC in a standard user account and set the .avi association to VLC, then the .avi files open with VLC by double clicking them! I tried running MPC-BE as an administrator in my standard user account, but then I cannot change the file association settings in Options, because I press the Administrator "Modify" button in the Options window and a copy of the Options window is opened where the .avi setting is already ticked. So it's not or cannot be updated for my standard user account. I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 v.2004 with MPC-BE 1.5.5 build 5274. |

Thank you for the link. I installed it, but unfortunately it didn't work, even after I rebooted the PC. I still get a copy of the Options window when I click on the Modify associations button and therefore I cannot change the .avi option.
Please note that I also tried resetting the options on the installation dialog. |

EDIT: I notice that right clicking a .avi file doesn't open it if the file association is for MPC-BE, but as I wrote before it does open with the Open With context menu. EDIT 2: I don't know if it helps, but the same problem exists with .mkv files. Also the Options dialog has a number of file associations ticked in grey and others in black (that's the dialog that opens after I click on the Modify button.

Hmm... I tried everything you suggest, but with no luck. The odd thing is that the file icon changes to that of MPC-BE, but the file doesn't play with the Open command. Only with Open With.
Additionally, VLC does work as would be expected even though I use a standard user account. MPC-BE works as expected only if I use an administrator account! |
