auto start track

Hi

sorry for the probably pretty basic question , but i am new to foobar

when double clicking a file (mp3) in windows explorer it starts in foobar but in "stopped" modus , how do i get it to start playing automatically ?
for the rest settings are pretty basic , i have it on shuffle play , version 1.1.6

thx

right-click and select "play in foobar2000" and it will start playing.

This also works for an entire folder of songs.

Just tested it here...

edit: sorry, correction! Double-clicking does work too if you go to:

File > Preferences > Shell Integration and uncheck "set "Enqueue" as the default action".

See if File > Preferences > Shell Integration has "Folder context menus" checked.

yes it is checked , there is already vlc and windows media player there , one of these might hold foobar from appearing there ?

I'm on Vista, and under:

Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set program access and computer defaults >

I have it set it to "Custom" and "use my current media player".

You might try that
