**NOTE: you must change the plugin names AFTER you have changed the MIME types in the traditional way. add a new letter or something."npqtplugin.dll" to "wnpqtplugin.dllll" > change the name (don't delete) all the plugins that start with "n". You can also do the following in prevent Quicktime from hijacking other things. but your iTunes will still play all the MP3s in your playlists. You have to have MediaPlayer the default player for MP3s. Plus, let me guess that in Mediaplayer->Tools->Options->Filetypes you *unchecked* MP3 becuase you want iTunes to handle that. you already opened quicktime and within the preferences unchecked all the MIME types except for MP3s because you use iTunes (and the only reason you still have quicktime is the nazis at apple force you to have quicktime in order for itunes to work). but Quicktime hijacks it because you set your Quicktime MIME types to open MP3s (and therefore mpg). you would think since its video, media player would open it.
"mpg" is more akin to an MP3 than it is to an MPEG-2 video. Prevent quicktime from opening mpg within browser Reverting the whole procedure involves the command unregmp2 /SwapTo:32. Click the custom button and under choose default media player, check the windows media player button and click ok. If that doesn't work, then one can still re-run the RegEdit procedure but preceded by the unregmp2 /SwapTo:64 command, as foreseen in the link. Click start/all programmes/set programme access and defaults. For those who might be interested, one could skip running unregmp2 /SwapTo:64 in aforementioned link and go ahead with the RegEdit procudure and see if one can change the default player to the 64-bit version.

However, some authors on some internet fora noted that unregmp2 /SwapTo:64 does/may not (always) work in Windows 7 (beta?). If you prefer to use the classic WMP for music and videos, it can be set as your default media player. So it 'looked like' unregmp2 /SwapTo:64 worked properly. Windows Media Player may feel like an aging application, but it’s still present in Windows 10. In my particular case unregmp2 /SwapTo:64 caused some activity on the system drive of mine, but no error message appeared and after having implemented the rest of the RegEdit procedure all went well and I changed the default player to the 64-bit version. In previous link there is the command unregmp2 /SwapTo:64 which needs to be invoked from the elevated command prompt (Run CMD as administrator). ) video file extensions and all video files will open with the 64-bit version of WMP upon double clicking them. Make sure that in the pane (with Recommended Programs and Other Programs) the BOX |Always use the selected program to open this kind of file| is checked. > (a pane pops up with Recommended Programs and Other Programs) select the Browse button en navigate to C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player and select wmplayer.exe, which should be the 64-bit version. This can be accomplished the usual way right-click the video file with a particular video file extension you want to open with the 64-bit version of WMP, then select Open With > Choose Default Program. video file extentions didn't help me any further the default WMP remained stuck at its 32-bit version.īTW, prior to fussing with the registry I took a System Restore Point after having cleaned up the system first with CCleaner and Wise Registry Cleaner.Īfter having followed the instructions in previous link, one still needs to make the WMP12 64-bit version the default version for all the video file extensions (.MOV. However, altering the paths to %ProgramFiles% in severel keys related to. So I changed temporary the owner of those keys to USER (my name), altered the keys from %ProgramFiles(86)% to %ProgramFiles% and changed the owner back to SYSTEM. Some time ago I had the same problem with IE, but then the problem went away by itself with the arrival of IE10.
How can I set WMP12 64-bit version as default player in Window 7 64-bit My current default player is WMP12 32-bit version, and I would like to change that. The WMP12 64-bit version is now the DEFAULT on my Windows 7 computer.Īs for the permission errors in RegEdit, I noticed that those keys I wanted to edit were owned by SYSTEM. A trivial question maybe, but I didnt manage to find an answer yet.
