    In Add/Remove programs screen on the left side, click on "Set Program access and Defaults" Expand the custom selection and scroll down to Media player. Select Windows Media Player as your default.

    Open Media player and under tools options, select file types tab and click on select all.

    Also go to the file you want to open, right click and select open with to open a file in a different player.

    Merci,

    Both suggestions appreciated.

    Will give these a shot. Appreciate it. I did do one suggestion, but apparently did not take it far enough.

    All the best...
