I use windows media player for audio and vlc player for video. A few days ago I played around with the settings, and now all my music folders start playing with vlc, and all my song files display the vlc orange road cone icon. I can right click a music folder or file and choose “Play With WMP”, but it’s a bloody nuisance.
Problem is, I was pretty cut when I messed things up, and now I can’t remember where or what I did. Oops. Have looked everywhere - WMP and VLC settings, folder options, etc - but can’t reset WMP as my default audio player. Or get rid of all these annoying little orange cones.
Open Windows media player, click on “Tools” and select “Options”
Then click on the tab for “File Types” and select all of the audio file types.
That should reset all of the associations for audio files to Windows media player
Hope this works[/quote]
Thanks, but how do I select all the audio file types?[/quote]
You could do it manually, since the list should be short: midi, mp3, wav, wma and “Music CD Playback”. You can even throw in some other formats, such as “aiff” and “au”, but you might not need to bother with them for the basic audio files.
