lets try this again

[The Sleeper]

how do I make windows media player the default player for videos?

[Goatweed]

use explorer to find the folder the media file is....right click said file...select OPEN WITH - Choose program...select the program (WMP in this case) and place a check in the box which says "always use the selected program to open this kind of file". Thats it.

[The Sleeper]

there is no open with option. I'm running windows 98 if that makes any difference

[Goatweed]

ok, left click the file once to highlight it, then hold down any shift key and right click the file, select Open with,..follow instrctions above.

thanks!

i wouldve just said to go into the WMP preferences, but whatever!

[Goatweed]

my way is generic, you can use it for multiple applications - not just WMP.
