How to add FLVPlayer.exe in default program list

I have the above program FLVPlayer.exe with some *.flv files.
*.flv files now is defaulted to open with windows media player in the properties.
I need to change the default program to open *.flv to FLVPlayer.exe. However this program is not listed in the Default Program List. I have been trying for the past 5 hours how to get this done.
When trying to set default program to run *.flv, since FLVPlayer.exe is not inside the Default Program list, I go manually browse to the FLVPlayer location. But when I selected the file from this location, Windows does not seems to pick it up.
I need to know what is the trick to add any .exe program into Default Program list.
Can anyone help me out..
Thanks.

you need to tap and hold on the .exe file and select copy
then go to windows/startmenu/programs
and the click on the right soft key (should say EDIT)
then tap paste shortcut
then tap and hold the shortcut and tap rename then rename to desired name then you should now see it listed alphabtically i the start > programs path

Hi JayJay,
Thanks for your quick reply. I already have the file in my Start > Program Path.
What I am not able to do is to set *.flv file to automatically open up with Flvplayer. Fyi, I am using Windows Vista and how i am doing it is via
Control Panel>Default Program > Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
My problem is i am not able to get the FLVplayer.exe into the Default Program list from which I can select the .exe for file association.
When I go to Control Panel> Default Program > Set Default Program, Vista will do search, but somehow it cannot find the .exe .
I tried following your suggestion to drop the .exe into control panel > Default program, but when i do OPEN the folder, I cannot paste the .exe in.
Appreciate if you have any more suggestion.

it may be program wont allow thid, maybe if you cinract the reator theg can help

Adobe Media Player
Hi
I had Adobe's media player installed and that played FLV files pretty well. It's on their website.

is there an app

that allows one to see the sd on pc as if a shared folder in network?

Yup. I've only tried this on windows 7 but the steps in XP would be similar.
Attach the drive via USB (probably using the disk drive mode in your USB connection settings) then right click the drive and choose share with --> advanced sharing. Click the advanced sharing button which probably will cause a popup asking administrator permission. Once that's done, the sharing dialogue pops up and you can check the box that says share this drive. Set permissions if necessary.
Now right click my computer, and do map network drive. Under the drive dropdown you should see your phone. In my case it defaulted to the "Z:" drive even though it's already got the "I:" drive letter. It shows up as \\MyPCName\i .
If you don't have it in the dropdown, try manually typing it in the box below using the format in the example above.

Yes there is... websharing file 1.6.1.apk created by nextapp.. you can find the lite version on market or pay for the pro one who can let you stream music from the network and stream video as well....

nice thanks!!

[TIP] File Sharing WinRT

Quick tip to enable file sharing on Windows 8 RT:
1. Open the desktop mode
2. Open Explorer
3. Right click on "Computer" and choose "Manage"
4. Expand "Services and Applications"
5. Select "Services"
6. Find the "Server" service and double click it to open.
7. Change the Startup type to "Automatic" or "Automatic (Delayed Start)
8. Click "OK"
9. Right click on the Server service and choose "Start"
You can then make shares as if on a normal Windows 8 PC. This also seems to give Libraries the option to share as well.

Skip the first 5 steps: just type "services.msc" into Start, and hit Enter.
You can also use the Shared Folders snap-in to Management Console (I can't remember the exact msc filename right now) to share folders beyond what the GUI permits.

Nice little sharing tip!

I was wondering how to share folders from surface to pc. I know you can use homegroup but I just like setting the folders I want. As well I hated when I went on my desktop and under network the surface is there but you can not gain access. So this trick will let you.. It opens up the "share" tab under properties on the folders when right clicking. Here ya go.

Android 6.0 SDCard info Internal vs External Formats. Pros vs Cons. Solutions Fix.

Just to clarify a few things.
- INTERNAL FORMAT.
- will turn your old internal sdcard storage space into regular internal storage space. (meaning it will not show up as an sdcard anymore but will still be available for the phone to use as regular internal storage)
- will encrypt your sdcard. (meaning it will no longer work on other devices) (this sux because ppl use it for backup but i have a fix)
- your new sdcard will appear as an internal sdcard (replacing the default one created using internal storage)(this means it's automatically used and supported by all apps, not just those with custom sdcard settings)
- EXTERNAL FORMAT.
- will function much like sdcard did in android 5.0.
- some builds are experiencing write permission errors. (cm13 for example most apps won't be able to use external card making it almost useless)(es file explorer and many root apps may still work.
If I missed any of the main functionally changes please let me know and i'll update accordingly.
- Solution to the "I want a backup for my data in case my phone breaks, but i like the idea of the internal storage feature."
- The solution i've come up with is a handly little app called syncme wireless.
- Steps to setup SyncMe Wireless to regularly backup your sdcard data onto a PC. (you can also use cloud devices but i am opposed to cloud services so i'll be showing this method here)
- Since i think windows is most popular and it's what i'm on i'll use it as an example. There are many exhaustive file sharing guides for setting up your permissions for network share on the internet available already so I will not be exhaustive, i'll just include basic setup instructions.
1. create a folder you can access easily, the desktop is a good place for it if you don't have administrator rights.
2. right click the folder click share with - > specific people. (if sharing is disabled enable it)
3. make sure you have read and write access. (the windows account you have the password to)
4. once folder is shared install syncme wireless on android device.
5. on windows device push windows key + r at the same time or go to start menu and click run.
6. type cmd and ok.
7. in command prompt type ipconfig.
8. make a note of your computers IP address. (it's ok if your dchp server changes your ips and it's not static syncme will take a note of your mac address and use that to identify your pc in the future after first connect)
9. open syncme wireless on your android device.
10. click ad computer.
11. your computer may show up automatically, if not click the menu icon and click add computer again, here you can manually add your computers ip address. (this is because some routers block scanning)
12. Click on User and type your WINDOWS LOGIN USERNAME that has permission to access the files on your pc.
13. click password and type your WINDOWS LOGIN PASSWORD that applies to the username you used.
14. once your computer is setup the rest is pretty self explanatory, click on the setup computer to add a sync folder, you can sync everything or just specific folders. You can set it to run at night when you're sleeping every night so you always have an sdcard backup on your computer, and if something happens to your phone you can reformat your card and copy the files back.
15. you can manually run folder pairs as well by clicking the folder pair and clicking run. I use this to send files to my phone over wifi, just add files to a folder that is setup in a pair, then run that folder pair sync, and the files will show up on your phone without having to plug in cables.
any suggestions or requests for help i'll try to add and respond to asap but I am not on here every day. Just wanted to help people solve the issue i had with cm 13 so more people can get into using it as a daily driver and support its development.
