How do I set VLC Media Player as the Default Player

Postby BMaskell » 01 Jul 2010 18:30

I am using VLC Media Player exclusively and yet I can not find a way to set the VLC as the default player. One time I went through the Control Panel and set them all by hand. it took an age to do and I missed a bunch. Is there a way to do an automatic set up of the files supported by VLC? When I updated iTunes it automatically set the video files to QuickTime.
Thanks for your help,
Brian
