hello,

two things about it:

1. For audio files, I use Coolplayer and I had all MP3s (and supported
formats) set to Coolplayer. Now, after using Windows Media Player
once, all those file types are set to Media Player again. How can I
suppress that?

2. Is there a good video player which supports the same range of
formats but freely available?

I would be grateful for some help.

Claus

Don't use WMP?

I still like Media Player Classic. You can specify which formats for it
to use.

that and in the settings you can set it to not set file types on it.

I was going to check that but none of my machines currently have WMP
installed. It's one of those things I routinely uninstall.

Where? I seem unable to find it, that is why I was writing this in the
first place.

If you're in XP, you can specify associations. On the Start menu go
to Set Program Access and Defaults , and pick your configuration and
specify away.

The codecs I have installed are some free DivX 5 one, an Xvid one, and the
WMP9 codecs. Sometimes I install the Quicktime Alternative codecs. MPC
works fine with all of these. :)

Well, you could mention VideoLan. It's another free video player.
