I found when WMP is not the default player, it will ask if you want to make it the default player each time you open or run it. Have you check the settings? Open WMP, go to tools, options and click on file types. Put a check mark in the box for each files you want WMP to be the default player.
I have WMP 10 and want to set it to be my default player, which is currently quicktime. How do I do this?
Thanks
Jon
