How do I stop Media Player from being default for AVI files

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

No matter what I do (changing file associations, etc.)
Windows Media Player remains the default player for .avi
files, even though these videos play much better quality-
wise with the Apple Quicktime player. Any suggestions as
to how to make this the default file association?

I didn't find anything about the MIME type in the folder
options settings, but your second set of suggestions
(forcing it through WMP, etc.) worked just fine.
