Window Media Player

[Guest David]

Hi all,

 

When I open a video or music file, why is it alway in Real Player. How do I switch back to the default ~ Window Media Player? Thanks in advance.

For attachments:

 

Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on the file and Open With | Choose Program. Find and choose a program that works, (Windows Media Player), and then check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This should enable you to open these attachments in the future.

 

For existing files:

 

Open WMP | Tools | Options | File Types and select the file extensions you want WMP to be the default media player.

Check the ones you want or Select All
