asked on Change PIM Manager Settings Windows 7
Hi experts,
Running Windows 7 Home Premium on Lenovo Z580 laptop with Broadcomm Bluetooth Drivers.
I'm using my phone to send mp3 files to my laptop. Instead of saving the file or asking me where to save the file, Windows begins playing it as soon as it receives the file. I can save files of other type so definitely it is a Windows setting.
I just want to reset it to defaults so that Windows 7 will ask me what to do with the file.
As soon as I click "send" on my Cellphone and Windows 7 sees it, the request is automatically passed on to PIM manager of Windows 7 which begins playing it immediately when it receives the file.
When the first time, I tried to transfer the file, I did get a dialog box from Windows (in two parts) of "What do you want to do with this file" and I chose "Desktop" to save and below Click "Windows Media Player" to play the file.
I have un paired, re paired the phone a couple of times and rebooted my PC without success. There is no option in PIM manager settings for MP3 files. If I disable PIM manager, I get an unable to send file message on my phone.
Ideas appreciated.
Ravi.
