"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews. Today I'm going to show you how to make Windows Media Player your default player. Let's go to the computer. Say I have some music that I want to play with media player and I want it to open with that by default. Click on your start button. Let's open up our music. Find any one of your songs that you have. And right click on it, and say open with, then let's say choose default program. Now I'm going to select Windows Media Player and then if you will look down a little bit towards the bottom of the screen, you'll see a check box that says always use the selected program to open this kind of file. Check that, and then click on the okay button at the bottom of the screen. You have now made it to where Windows Media Player will open by default, any music that you open. My name is Dave Andrews and I just showed you how to make Windows Media Player your default player."
