Windows Media Player

[Guest goochy1]

Hiya Guys,

I used to use the Default Windows media player but then my friend told me that realplayer was better but now i've decided otherways. I can't change Media Player back to being my default player.

Anyone Know???

cheers

Strangest thing. I thought it must be under tools\options, but I couldn't find it, so I went to this microsoft support page: How to Make Windows Media Player Your Default Player. There it says indeed go to tools\options, but then select the format-tab... but there is none! (WMP10)

Am I missing something here?

Edit: Even the embedded help-function seems lost: it points to tools\options and then select the "file type"-tab. Again, there's no such tab...

Hmmm Goochy, we might be on to something... something BIG! :rolleyes:

Options, file types then just check any formats you want wmp (10) to play by default.

Hmmm, that's what I said, but it didn't work in my case. But I checked this with the WMP on my school, so maybe it's because I don't have administrator rights on the pc? I'll check it at home tonight.

I believe you do need administrator priveleges (sp?, sorry I just got home from work and I'm beat).

I am administrator but still doesn't work, I think the only way around it is to completely uninstall realplayer and just hope for the best.

Thankyou for your help and comments though.
