Hello all...!

I have this annoying little problem.... >:(...!

My preferred player is Windows Media Player 10..... :-*.....
...but...
Every now and again, certain Sites insist on changing my Default Player to the dreaded Real Player program when I download/streaming audio/video media....  >:(...!

Neither of these programs give me the opportunity to swap them over, or make them my default player in their "Tools/Options" menus.......!

How can I make one, or the other, my Default program on Boot-up, or when the audio/video program is started...?

The option only seems to be accessible during the initial download of the program, ie; "Do you want to make this your default program"?

Whereabouts in Win XP does the option lie...?

...simple innit...?

LOL......!

Paul....by default.... ...!

Note: Both programs reside in my "Programs" List.

find the type of file you want, right click open with and then click 'choose program' and select what you want from the list, then always use this program.... Quite simple fozz!

Gunny

Right click on the audio file, click 'Choose Program'(don't bother the Dutch).



Click Media Player and tick always open this type of file with this program.




Enjoy the song.




Hope this helps

Ta very much, Gunny and Mees... ...!

Thanks Mees, for the excellent video instructions.... ...!

Sorted now.......!

It's one of those things which always seem buried just below the surface in Windows, and I never dig deep enough to find them....
....I always encounter bed-rock during my digging activities... ...!

LOL... ...!

Cheers Both......!

Paul...(I may ask the same question again, tomorrow).... ...!

LOL...!

Hey thanks mees for adding the screenshots, I'm just too lazy to do it myself  ;D and enjoy Foz!
