[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1157667"] Yes. And it's quite easy. LOL! Perfect example of "Windows" thinking. Deleting QuickTime would (literally) cripple the entire computer. Use the same method as referred to before, only THIS time pay attention to the little button that says "Change All". Clicking that button will make (in this case) VLC the default app for ALL videos of the same file type. You'll need to repeat this ONLY for other file types you want VLC to open automatically (in particularly I'd suggestion MKV and WMV). There, you're done. (you may need to restart for the file icons and default assignments to change, though that hasn't been my experience). Better than ripping out a vital system component, discovering your computer doesn't work right, and having to reinstall everything, wouldn't you say? :) [/QUOTE]
