Windows Media Player as Default

[kojak]

I've just added Nero on my PC, and its now got this as the default player when playing movies. How do I make Windows Media Player default again?

Find one of the file types you want to play .mpg .mpeg .wmv hold down the shift key, and right click it. Select "choose programme", pick the player you want, and put a check in the box marked "always use this programme to open this file type"

If, when you restart your computer it goes back to nero, you might have to alter the settings in nero itself. This will be something like options/file types.

Hope this helps.

Never realised you could do that. Cheers.

Easier way: Open Media Player. Go to Tools/Options/File Types and either click on all the ones you want or, even easier, click on "Select All".
