Introduction to File Association
File Association is the process in which Windows associates a particular file extension (for example ".mp3") with a particular application (when double-clicking a file with that extension the associated application is executed). Zoom Player is very unobtrusive and will not force you to associate any specific file extension. The File Association page selects the file extensions to be associated with Zoom Player. Simply check or uncheck any extensions and then click on the "Save Associations" button to apply.

The association page allows you to change icons for different file types. Simply click on any icon in the list and a prompt to apply the Zoom Player icon to the selected extension is shown. If you decline to apply the Zoom Player icon, a prompt to set a custom icon is displayed. Please note that you can't change an extension's icon if windows is set to a limited user mode or UAC (user account control) is enabled.
