Right-click anywhere on the MP screen. Options. File types. Apply and
okay your way out.

Hi, Steve.

As Maureen says, or...

Use the new tool for this in Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and
Defaults.

go to the conrol panel and go to Add/Remove Programs then on the tabs go to
set programs access and defaults find default Media Player and choose
Windows Media player
