Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>general (more info?)

Everytime I highlight more than one song and click play all, it opens windows
media player, is there a way to make it open with iTunes? Also, I've gone
into Set Program Access and Computer Defaults, extended custom, selected
iTunes as my default media player and then clicked ok, but everytime I go
back into it, it keeps selecting use my current media player. How do I fix
this so it's alway iTunes?

Hi Boe08--

Open iTunes.

From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

Click the Advanced button and then click the General tab.

Click "Use iTunes as the default player for all audio files" to select this
option.


Note: Deselecting this option tells Windows to use the default application
you used before iTunes.

That probably won't work well in Vista, since that requires administrative
credentials. Do they handle that?

Do they register for the Set User Defaults control panel? That would be the
ideal place to manage this.

Note that "use my current media player" in that context means to use
whatever is selected. It's not checking what that is - in your case that
should be iTunes. The Set Program Access and Defaults implementation is
going to run the iTunes association code - if that doesn't work, if they
have registered for Set User Defaults, that will run the system's
association code with the specified iTunes registrations, which would
potentially work better.
