All is fixed and working as expected in 3063. Thanks everyone! :D

OS Integration is only available on regular installs. Portable Installs don't have this as they're designed to not integrate with the OS.

I don't see the OS Integration option under Tools > Options > General.
My General option starts with Hotkeys.
How do I get OS Integration to show again, and why would it be missing in the first place?

Can you follow steps to create debug log from https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643 but make sure DBGVIEW is started before you start MM installation?

Just make sure that formats are not associated to MM before doing all that.
Absolutely. I made ticket 7698 for this issue.

Yes, MM resets them by itself when I reinstall 3061, for example, from Windows Media Player to MM. Just to clarify and note, I am not actually clicking or using the Associate File Types With MM option under Tools when I am doing this testing since that option does overwrite the default. This is just from reinstalling 3061 after going through Default Apps in Windows to ensure Windows Media Player is set to default and also going through Windows Default Apps to verify MM changed the default after re-installation.

So , Kilo, if you go through and individually re-set every single file type to Windows Media Player, and then go and restart or reinstall media monkey, does it reset any of them to itself??

It should only do this if you ask it to.

Does Associate Files to MM open Default apps settings?

If you select Associate by APP and then click on MM does all available formats are associated with MM?
Hi Peke -

Yes - Associate Files to MM opens Default App settings. When I go in and select Windows Media Player for the default Music Player option under here, there are still plenty of file types still defaulted on MM under the Set Defaults by App settings. Screenshots are below showing how these different types are still on MM. Also, I just updated to RC3 and am still getting the Default Apps reset to MM.

Yes, the Associate File Types With MediaMonkey option is under Tools > Options > OS Integration. That's the only option I see that would relate to this issue. Like RobS said, this only opens the Windows default file settings for programs window and this is where MM keeps resetting the default file type for Music Player for me under here. Is there another option that would cause this under here because there's not much under here that is helpful?
