Windows media files have changes to Nero

Hi just wondering how I change my music files back to windows media player, they changed to nero flies last week after burning a CD.
Hate the nero player, but love windows media player.
Hope someone can help me?

Thanks Shihad

I'm sure that there's a more elegant way of doing this, but I believe that you can right-click on one of your music files and choose Properties. Next to Open File With, click the Change button, and select Windows Media Player from the list that comes up.

Hope this helps,

That way only works for the one file you right click and ask to "open with". Nero was too smart for that! All my icons on all my music files have a green Play button arrow icon for Nero. It changed all of em !!!

Is there a permanent way to have Media Player return the default music program? I feel your pain !! Grrrrrrr !

Hi Rich,

Here's another suggestion from our internal WMP alias:

Well, WMP's Tools:Options:File Types is your first stop.

Thank you Sooo much. WMP | Tools | Options | File Types works for now.
Thanks again. You're awesome.

great! I've passed on your praises to the WMP folks who provided the answer.

here's one more note that was provided by the team:

Also if they changed after using a ISV program, its probably worth a look in the options or settings of the ISV program to prevent future re-occurrences of observed behavior where the ISV app re-claims file types without user input.
