Playlists wont start

[dezzemm]

When I create a playlist I am unable to activate it in Windows Media Player when i double-click on it in Explorer. The Media Player interface appears but no list appears and nothing plays.

If I locate the file in Explorer and use the 'open-with' command the list will then be generated and the tracks will play as normal.

I am able to d/c on individual tracks and they will play ok, but something is amiss with the .wpl files.

I have just found out that if I right-click on the wpl and select 'PLAY' - nothing happens BUT If I choose 'OPEN' then the file behaves as you would expect and will change the list that is currently playing.

Open My Computer > Click On Tools > Folder Options > Click on File Types Tab > Scroll to the WPL entry, if your fast you can type WPL and it will take you straight to the correct place > Click on the Advanced Button > Highlight Open and Click the Set as Default button > Click ok > Click ok. Now try double clicking on your WPL files.

Thanks for that. I actually worked it out, it was staring me in the face but was having as senior moment!
