Setting WMP10 as default media
      #283992 - Sun May 28 2006 07:09 PM

Hello. I recently installed the Creative software which came with my Zen Vision : M to compare it with WMP10. However, the Creative player has set itself as my default player which I don't want just now. How do I re-set WMP10 as the default again. I've had a look but can't see the wood for the trees. Thanks. Glynn.

Find a media file.

Right-click on it and select Open with then Choose Program.

Click on WMP10.

Put a tick in the box next to Always use the selected program...

Click OK.

Ritchie, thanks for the prompt reply. I've done what you said, however when I click on WMP10, the song automatically plays. I don't get the box to tick for 'Always use the selected program'. Also All my music folders and the tracks therein have all been reversed. For example in 'My Music' ZZ Top is now at the top of the list and AC/DC is now at the bottom. Then if I go into a folder (album) within a group, track 1 is at the bottom of the list and the last track is at the top.

Can you suggest what's going on and how I can sort it? Thanks. Glynn

Update. I've set WMP as the default. I'm thick! But the second problem still exists. Do you know how to sort that? Cheers. Glynn

Open a folder with your music.

Change the View to Details (View menu)

Click on Name to sort them.
