How do I change my default video player?

I'm trying to make Media Player Classic my default player but I'm lost in trying to figure this out. My computer has already assumed Winamp as my default, with Windows Media Player and Quicktime as back up. Obviously, I don't want those 3 as my video player and I just want to stick to my MPC and have my cake and eat it too.

I've tried to %26quot;open with another program%26quot; and it doesn't do anything! Is it because I moved into my Program Files folder? It was originally on my desktop, could that be the problem?

I was just trying to reorganize... Yarrrr -shakes fist-How do I change my default video player?
right click on a file that you want to change and pick %26quot;open with%26quot; from the flyout menu select the program you wan to use to open in and check the box that says %26quot;always use this program%26quot; before clicking okay

Windows will then use that program to open all files with the same extention. you will need to do it for each type that you want to change.

open windows media player, go to %26quot;tools%26quot;, then %26quot;options%26quot;, then the tab that says %26quot;file types%26quot;, and click the %26quot;select all%26quot; buttonHow do I make windows media player my default player?
I'm using Windows Media Player 11 but it this should work for other versions as well.



1. Open Windows Media Player (obvious right? :P)



2. Click on 'Tools'.

If Tools isn't visible then you might need to right-click somewhere up the top to get the menus to pop up.



3. Click on 'Options'



4. Click on 'File Types'



A list of all the file types that Windows Media Player can play should show up now. The ones that are set as default to play with this media player should be ticked.



5. You can manually select the file types you want to open with Windows Media Player. Also, there should be a button that says 'Select All' or something else you can click on which will select all the file types.



6. And your done!



This should fix the problem.



If files still open up in real player then you should try these steps with real player.





For Real Player: (I use Real Player 11, but the steps should be similar with other versions.)



1. After opening up Real Player, Click 'Tools'



2. Click 'Preferences'



3. Click 'Content', then 'Media Types' in the category bar on the left had side.



Two options should be available on the right now. One is to make Real Player your Universal Media Player (which your daughter may have selected) and the other is 'Manually configure media types for Real Player' or something along those lines.



5. Click on the Manually Configure option. Then click the 'Select' button.



6. A list of associated media file types should come up now. To deselect all the file types simply click the 'Deselect All' button, or you can manually deselect only a few individual file types if you wish.



7. Click the 'ok' buttons till you back at the Real Player itself and exit.



8. And your done!

    open your Real media player Via the start menu, find the options menu for Real Media player once it has opened. in there you should be able to go through the tabs to find the section where you select what files are played via RMP and you should also be able to select it as your default player...



    i also suggest that you go and download the K-lite media Codec Pack. it is amazing if you watch video's on your comp... if your using it for music, i still prefer my good old winamp... :)

    you have to go in wmp and change not only making it the default

    but also file association's

    thats why when you click on a file

    it opens zune, cuz it still holds the associations

    Default media player?

    How do I change a program to be my default player for all my movies and media. For example, I use windows media player but I want to change it and use the new software I got with my Zune, I've looked in my options but can't seem to find the right option.



    Help appreciated : )Default media player?
    There are 2 methods (beside using the option from the player if they have any) to be used:



    1. Right click on a type of media file: avi, mpeg/mpg, wmv etc and at the window that will open, go to Open With and from there select Choose Program. Once selected, another window will be opened, and there you will find a list of the programs installed on your pc. Select the program you want to use as a default media player for that type of file, and check the radio button that says: Always use the selected program to open this kind of file

    and hit OK. This will associate that type of file always with that media player you choose. If by any chance you will not find the program you want to use on the list, hit the Browse button and find it manually and than use the last step i mentioned above.





    2. Open windows explorer, goto Tools -%26gt; Folder Options -%26gt; File Types and scroll down till you find the media file extension you want to change (avi, mpeg/mpg, wmv etc), select that type of file, and if you hit Change button you will come to the first step i mentioned above. If you hit Advanced, you will be shown another window, from there there is a text box that says Actions: and listed there there might be several methods, just select Play or Play in (name of the default media player) and hit Edit button on your right side. After that, another window will pop up, hit the Browse button and find the program you want to use for playing that kind of media file (by default it is installed in c:\program files) , select the .exe file and press Open, press OK, OK, OK and you are done.Default media player?
    Most programs have a function in options that will allow you to choose what files it will be default for...



    But if you can't find that, there's the painstaking method of right-clicking each file you want to open in My Computer, choosing Open with, choosing the Player, and checking that you want the program to be the default. Note that you would have to do that for each file type.Default media player?
    Windows media player,tools,options,FILE TYPES TAB it's all there.

    CheersHow can I change my default video/audio player from Windows Media to Real Player?
    There is a forum about media players, etc. in MSN.com, I wanted a Media Player 10 and I used to run Windows 98 until I added Win ME. The download center still shows my Windows 98 and would only let me download the media player 7.1, but so far, I have been happy with it and have read some buggy info on the mp10. You can have your system updated from MSN, also. Try it, I am glad I did that. Can you change your default. They can probably help.

    I have somehow changed my default media player i cant seem to find out how to get back to windows media player

    Right click on an mp3 wmv wma or whatever file you want Windows Media Player to open by default. When you right click go to 'Open With' and then Browse for program. Select Windows Media Player then at the bottom tick the box that says 'Always open files with this program' (something of that nature I'm not 100% on the verbage there).

From there you can choose Media Player and select Nero. No need to reinstall nero. If you don't see Set Program Access and Defaults, then you can do the following:

    Start media player in full mode.

    Click on Tools, Option and select File Type tab. Do your changes here.

    You need to go to the option page of the other player and set the default if you want. If you don't set any default player, windows will ask you what player you like to pay it with each time you want to play.

    How do i change my default meadia player?

    I need to change it from windows media player to something else as i am having trouble using windows media player since having my comp restored.

    ThanksHow do i change my default meadia player?
    When you first upgrade to Windows Media Player 9, the program establishes itself as the default player for just about every type of Windows-based media file, not only for streaming formats such as ASF (the original Windows streaming media format), WMA, and WMV, but also for nonstreaming formats such as MPEG and AVI. Media Player 9 wants to be the default player for any CD you insert into your computer, and it even tries to be your default MP3 player. Fortunately you can decide for yourself which player you want to use for each type of file by changing each player's default file types. For Windows Media Player, click Tools, then Options and click the File Types tab. (If you can't see your player's Tools menu, click the Show Menu Bar button in the top left corner of the player.) Put a check mark in the checkboxes next to the file types you want Windows Media Player to play and then click OK.



    For RealOne Player, choose Tools, Preferences. (If you've downsized your player, you may need to click the double arrow next to the File menu to see the rest of the menu.) In the left pane of the Preferences dialog box, under Content, click Media Types. Then on the right side of the dialog box, put a checkmark in the checkboxes next to the types of files you want RealOne to play. Note that RealOne lists a lot of lesser-known or derivative file types you may not know; your best bet is to assign the types you know and revisit this dialog box as you learn more about other file types. When you finish, click OK.



    Although QuickTime cannot play streaming formats other than QuickTime movies (MOV), it can play nonstreaming videos such as MPEGs and AVIs; some people prefer QuickTime for these formats. To set your QuickTime player to play these formats, choose Preferences from the Edit menu and then choose QuickTime Preferences. From the drop-down list, choose File Type Associations, put a check mark in the checkbox next to Windows File Types, and close the dialog box.How do i change my default meadia player?

    I'm not sure whether you want a default for a CD or tracks on your computer but i'll tell you how to change for ones on your computer. you will only have to do this once for each file type and usually people only have two or three

    Go to a track on your computer, then right-click on it, go to %26quot;open with. . .%26quot; then change default program.

    If the program you want is on the list click on it, if not click browse then look in the list for it, i.e if its real player look for the real folder, open it up, then click on realplay, then click open and it should change the default to that program
