Why is a different player or program opening my audio and video files when Windows Media Player was set as my default digital media player?
If you set Windows Media Player as the default digital media player for an audio or video file type but a different player or program opens that file type instead, one of the following situations may have occurred: Another program that competes for audio and video file types, for example .mp3 or .mpg, may have “taken over” that file type, even after you associated the file type with the Player. This program may use registry monitoring to maintain the file-type association. If this happens, you may be able to remove the file-type association in the other program. For more information, see the documentation for the program that has taken over the file-type association.
