You need to change the file extension association in Windows from Nero to windows media player. To do this:



?For Windows XP check http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using

if you right click on the video you want to watch and click on 'open with' it will give you a list of different programmes you can open it with so just click media player!My pc automatically selects nero to view videos how do i change it so windows media player is the default ?
Right-Click the file select open with, then select the programme you want and make sure to select it as default as it will revert to opening the file with nero.My pc automatically selects nero to view videos how do i change it so windows media player is the default ?
Right click on any of your video files and choose %26quot;Open with%26quot;. Then choose the program that you want to open these files. If %26quot;Windows Media Player%26quot; isn't listed, just browes for it. Simply navigate to the programs folder in %26quot;Program files%26quot;, open the folder and click on the .exe file. That will associate that file extension with the program that you choose, making that program the %26quot;default%26quot; program for these file types.

RIGHT click on a video file, and select Open With %26gt;

Then click on the last option of the submenu, Select Default Program...



You have to do the same for every video file type you use (avi, wmv,mpg)



Keep in mind though, that nero showtime can play more video formats than windows media playerMy pc automatically selects nero to view videos how do i change it so windows media player is the default ?
open media player then go to Tools%26gt;Options



in the 'File types' tab, check the video format that you want media player to be the default player... you can check all then press ok. that should restore file association to media player.My pc automatically selects nero to view videos how do i change it so windows media player is the default ?
