MPC-HC (and/or CCCP installer) Possible 'Bug' in File Associations

O.S. Win XP

There is an issue with MPC-HC and its association to 'mp4' files.

On install the files are correctly associated to MPC-HC in that on double-clicking on an mp4 file in Windows Explorer the file does get opened in MPC-HC - no problems there.

However, in Windows Explorer no (default) 'clipboard' icon is associated with mp4 files. This has been an issue of longstanding with MPC-HC. (I thought that someone would notice this over time, but no.

mp4 files need correctly associated with MPC-HC's clipboard icon (or other icon if the user is not using the default icon).

Maybe I should add that currently I installed MPC-HC as part of the 'CCCP 2013-03-02' package. But as mentioned the issue is one of longstanding and also existed with earlier versions of installing MPC-HC from CCCP packages.

Hope this is of help.
