Changing the default media player for downloaded internet files?

If I download a file off of the internet it automatically opens in my trial version of WinDVD, which has expired. How do I change it so all files are auto-played on windows media player? I don't want to save them on my PC and manually change them, I just want them to defaultly open in WMP. It used to do this before I installed the trial of WinDVD



Any help?Changing the default media player for downloaded internet files?
Open WMP. Right-click on the top bar. Go to: Tools; Options... Click the File Types tab, and select all the files for which you want WMP to be the defaul player.Changing the default media player for downloaded internet files?

Right click on the file. Scroll down to %26quot;open with...%26quot;. Click on the %26quot;always use this program to open these types of files%26quot; box. Hit enter or ok. Then after the file type opens close it and try again. Should work and your icon for that file type should have changed to WMP. Uninstalling WinDVD probably work and should be done anyways since it is expired.Changing the default media player for downloaded internet files?

Another way is go onto the software you intend to use and in the setting there will be a tick box making it the default player for internet media or that type of thing.

Or Uninstall Windvd and it will promt you next time you open a file and choose which software to use.

You might aswell uninstall the software if its expired as its taking up room and not working. Get rid of it there are many free ones out there!!!!
