I need to change my WinamPAQ to be the default program for playing MP3 on my
Pocket PC. Does anyone know if its possible? If I click on an MP3 at
present it launches Media Player 10. I want it to launch WinamPAQ instead.

Thanks
Tony

You'll need to edit the registry to do this or you can download the demo
version of Resco File Explorer and set associations with it. I would suggest
the Resco program as it sounds like it will be the easiest for you.

Or use Pocket Tweak (free) which can also change file associations.

Most programs have the option to make it the default player. A program like
MortPlayer, much better IMO than WinamPAQ, does the registry hack for you.

If you don't like to try that out you can use PocketTweak

to change the association. It's freeware BTW.
