[Blind-Computing] WinAmp Refusing to Shut Down
Friends, Everytime I open up an attachment that requires WinAmp to open in order to play the attachment I cannot get Winamp to close down using alt f4. This does not only occur with the attachments and it is not just periodic, but everytime I open WinAmp it seems like it is continuing to run in the background. I know there is a way to reassign file extensions to open up with different programs, but I cannot remember the steps to accomplish this. If anyone can help in solving my problem it will be greatly appreciated. I would like to know how to solve the current problem of completely shutting down WinAmp after it opens and also how to reassign the file extensions to open with an alternative program. I do not believe it has anything to do with Jaws, but I am using Jaws 12 latest version, a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, Windows XP Professional, Winamp 5.581.

Hi Josh, Below are some notes that I've saved. From: Steve [mailto:k...@sbcglobal.net] Don, 1. Open my computer. 2. Press alt-t for tools, and then select folder options. 3. Control tab to the file types tab. 4. There is a listview with probably some 400 different file extensions. Press the letter D to get you there quicker. Look for dot D O C which is .doc for your default MsWord file format. 5. Tab over to the change button and press enter. 6. A dialog will open. Arrow down and choose that you want to have those files open with Microsoft Office Word. You might have to navigate a treview if the program isn't listed in the original list, you should be able to find it under programs, Microsoft Office. etc. Steve From: Don Mauck don.ma...@oracle.com Actually I found an easier way. 1. Go to your my documents folder. 2. Highlight any word document (doc) (docx) 3. Press the applications key, select the open as dialog, select choose program. 4. Select always use this program after selecting Word, and you're good to go. Regards, Don From: The Elf ah, yes you can, go to control panel, go to folder options, control tab to file types, arrow down through the file types till you find .txt, tab over to change, and go through the dialog to select note pad to open .text files now then if your trying to save an Email as a text file, usually you can by hitting file, save as and in the file type choose .txt if its available, if not then Donna's is the only real answer unless you want to do two saves, once as an html copy of the Email, and then again with I.E. to a text file. HTH, Inthane Hope this has helped. Take care.

Re: [Blind-Computing] WinAmp Refusing to Shut Down
Hello Josh. As for the winamp not shutting down I am not toally sure about this but try going into preferences of win amp and then into general preferences and uncheck system tray if it is. On the file extension change highlight the one you want to open and hit applications and enter on open with. Go to browse I think it is. Find what you want to open it with and then tab and check always use this to open the file. Then enter on ok. Hope this helps. -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Josh Sent: Monday, June 27, 2011 6:54 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] WinAmp Refusing to Shut Down Friends, Everytime I open up an attachment that requires WinAmp to open in order to play the attachment I cannot get Winamp to close down using alt f4.
