Greetings.....

.....and a happy chocolate holiday

I have a number of .flv files on my machine which have a Windows Player as the default. (These files were copied over from a Gatesmobile...)

Now I can right click and select 'Open With... for example, VLC, but it's a bit tiresome, and all the extra effort is wearing me out.

How do I make VLC the default, so that a double click will do the trick?

Cheers Mitcherooney (I wish I'd chosen a shorter name...)

Thanks to Rohan and Chilbear for your quick replies. That's solved that problem. Bit by bit I'm getting the hang of it. Cheers M
