Windows 7 DVD Drive Error Message when double clicking a music CD

[sultan966]

Windows 7 Laptop ASUS K52F

Music CD in DVD Drive:

When I double click on the DVD drive it gives an error message:

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default program control panel."

 

If I insert a data CD in the drive I can double click it. No error message. It opens the CD contents fine.

 

I have created association for music files in the CD as Windows Media Player. It does not help. Real player is installed in the laptop.

 

It is puzzling me.

Something has mangled the AUDIOFS handling.

 

Please note: If you use this information to modify your registry and it breaks your install of Windows, I did not force you to use it and I'm warning you that messing about with the registry can easily lead to a broken Windows install.

 

Probably these entries in the registry:

 

Note also that the entries below are from an x64 system.

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\audiocd
   BaseClass    REG_SZ    Drive
   FriendlyTypeName    REG_SZ    @shell32.dll,-10144

I've attached the text output as a text file because the code quoted above has been modified by the @ thing.

audiocd.txt

This worked for me. Many thanks.

Glad I could help.

 

FWIW the >Thank Post< link is a great way to thank people.
