I don't know if this is the right place to ask it, but from the question itself you'll deduce that I'm bad with PC's...
How can you make "real" player or VLC the player your PC always uses instead of windows media player ? Can anyone help ? Thanks in advance ! |

I'm not sure Real can even play media other than it's own format, but you're welcome to try. Open any folder and at the top click on "Tools" and then "Folder Options" Once that opens, click on "File Types" and scroll through until you find the file extension you want to change (Ex: .wmv or .avi or .mp3). When you highlight it you can read the details including "Opens with:" Just click on "Change" and pick the program you want to use instead.
Remember what you changed in case you need to go back and change it back. There might be an easier way built in to the player itself. If you open Windows Media Player, you can go to "Tools" and select the file type you want the program to use. Once you turn it off and try to run one of those files, the computer should ask you what program you want to use and whether you want to make the change permanent.
No trees were killed in the making of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
