Change to default to Windows media player from Itunes

External Since: Jun 29, 2007 Posts: 10

Hi,

I have a user who downloaded itunes and made it the default music player. We
have a phone system that requires that Windows Media player be the default
player. When I go to a folder that has .wav files, they used to be Windows
Media Player logos but are now iTunes logos. How do I change this back to
Windows Media Player without removing iTunes?

Thanks,

Hi ChuckW,

Open WMP. Click Tools/Options/File Types tab.

-or-

Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/Set Program access and defaults/Custom/Windows Media Player. Click OK

And then in iTunes:

Open iTunes.

From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

Click the Advanced button and then click the General tab.

Deselect "Use iTunes as the default player for all audio files"
