Winamp 2.81 and Navigator 7

Anyone know how to configure 7.0 such that when one left-clicks on a Winamp skin for download from the folks at Winamp, it will automatically download to the appropriate Winamp skin folder and install itself?

This worked by magic on IE5; IE6 seems to have broken it, and I wanted to remove one of the last uses I had for IE6.

Thanks,
Fenris

 

It may be possible, since a quick test verifies that it works with winamp 2 (I have no idea about winamp 3). However, you will have to add your own mimetype (edit/prefs/navigator/helper apps).

You might want to back up your mimeTypes.rdf file before and after making changes, just to be safe. We cannot guarantee any results, but it should work.

You will have to manually define the following:
Go to "edit/prefs/navigator/helper apps "
New button

For winamp 2
description: Winamp Skin
file extension: wsz
mimetype: interface/x-winamp-skin
application to use: path_to_winamp.exe

For winamp 3
description: Winamp3 Skin
file extension: wal
mimetype: interface/x-winamp3-skin
application to use: path_to_winamp3 executable (not sure of the name)

If you wish, you can uncheck ask me before downloading files of this type

HTH
(the winamp 3 information is for the benefit of anyone who may be lurking )
