This is a file association issue. Easy fix:
1 - Open a music folder
2 - Right-click any MP3 or WMA file
3 - Go to, Open With in the menu and choose the Choose Program option at the bottom of the next menu
4 - Browse to the VLC player and click it
5 - Place a check in the box below the list that says: %26quot;Always use the selected program... %26quot;
6 - Click OK
Done!How to change default media player on XP?
Fantastic and thanks for the answer. I've gone though all file types chosen 'Choose Program' ticked the 'always use' box, and seem to have banished windows player which I very much dislike. MUCH easier than a reformat. LOL!
