Why .mpg in Quicktime?

[oberon]

I have a small but annoying problem. Ever since I installed Quicktime 7 all .mpg video clips on internet plays in QT instead of WMP (I have version 10). If I play a .mpg from my HD it plays as normal in WMP. I have tried to uncheck the .mpg selections in QT and check them in WMP but still QT plays al the files. Is there a chaneg I have to do in ht e register?

Right click on the file, select open with, choose Windows Media Player from the list of programs and check the box that says "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."

Try right clicking on a MPEG and in 'Properties' change the default player. Or if you go into Tools>Folder Options>File Types, you can change the association for any file type and icon.

Some programs 'hijack' your icons and file types. When you install a program, pay attention to what file types it associates with. You may have to use the 'custom' install setting to get them the way you want. That way you shouldn't have to change them later.
