vlc keeps changing my default player

Postby kjvbible1611 » 13 Jan 2013 23:20

How can i have VLC Player stop my file associations with other players?
It takes over everything even when i uncheck all VLC associated files.

File associations are set during installation, so you need to reinstall VLC and check the proper file types you want to use during the setup.

Hi,
maybe you can change it :
1 - rclick on Destop (my pc)
2 - write "extension" in search into control panel
