How can I change the default player on my computer? my default player now is quicktime player and I want to change it to windows media player. thanks…

To change all the default settings it’s best to do it through the Windows Program Defaults settings. In Windows XP, click Start, Run and type control. In the Control Panel click Add/Remove Programs and click on Set Program Access and Defaults.

In Vista, click the Start button, select Default Programs, then Set program access and computer defaults. You might be prompted to confirm the operation or provide an Administrator password.

In the Program Access settings, choose Custom and expand the list by clicking the double arrows pointing downwards to the right. Scroll down the list until you get to  Choose a Default Media Player where you’ll have all the available media players. Tick the box for Windows Media Player and the box alongside that reads Enable access to this program.

Click okay and reboot the computer.
