im not sure i understand ur prob correctly, but i think ur saying that there are no shortcuts for fantasy player neware and if u open media files they open in notepad?
i think u shud try a reinstall first...and if it asks u 2 restart do it dont NOT restart
then if its still the same, go to where u installed it...default must b sumthing like c:\program files\fantasy player or whatever
find d app n make shortcuts in d desktop urself..or wherever u want..
then go to ur media files, rite clik>properties
on the general tab ders a thing wich says OPEN WITH...click on CHANGE and then look for fantasy player...if its not there then use browse and navigate to it...and say ok
it should be done now i think
and yeah...ur poll is totally unrelated..
