• Always take control of file types. This requires Media Scheduler. If this is checked, Media Center will register all the file types with the Windows operating system when it starts up. Make sure this is checked if you want your changes to take affect.

To update the list of file types that can be associated with new versions and builds of the program, check for updates every once in a while. Go to Help > Check for Updates or press Ctrl-J.
