(In MPC-HC v2.50.0, I saw the option to set a file type association for .ra (Real Audio), but not for .ram (per se, & unless I missed it).
.ra setups up a, [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mplayerc64.ra\shell\open\command])
In any case, something like, CMD /C START "", spawns a new "shell", such that the association between Everything (the parent) & MPC-HC (the child) is "lost". Everything is no longer MPC-HC's parent, but rather MPC-HC is an entity unto itself (if you will).
So killing Everything no longer takes down MPC-HC.
(Maybe winamp does a cmd /c start-like action on its' own & that is why it was unaffected?)
1. double-click on Good Feelings.ogg
- Everything is parent, which spawned MPUI (which spawned mplayer)
2. double-click on go.bat
- Everything is parent, which spawned go.bat, which spawned a new shell (so at that point, parent-child relationships is lost), & that new shell spawned MPUI (which spawned mplayer)
(so killing Everything would have no affect on that second instance of MPUI)
