Open My Computer. Doubleclick on the C: drive icon (if that is the drive your CD
uses to open the program for CD playback). Click on View Folder Options File
Types – type CD (after you hit the letter C, you will probably see the choice in
the box change to CD Audio Track) – Here you will see what program is currently
opening your CD audio tracks, it is probably the program you deleted. Click on
the Edit tab, click on the Edit tab again, you will see a rectangular box
“Application used to perform action:”. Here is where you will change back to the
default program (or any other you may choose). Win98 uses cdplayer.exe to perform
this function. Unless you have changed the location of your program files,
cdplayer.exe path is probably located in the root of C in the windows directory,
either browse to this directory and choose the cdplayer icon, or type the path to
it in the rectangular box, it will be C:\WINDOWS\cdplayer.exe –play when you
choose ok Cdplayer should now be the default program Windows uses to open CD audio
files upon insertion to the CD-ROM drive. Now close out all the open dialog
boxes. Hope this helps.
