Hi,

I have a user who downloaded itunes and made it the default music player. We
have a phone system that requires that Windows Media player be the default
player. When I go to a folder that has .wav files, they used to be Windows
Media Player logos but are now iTunes logos. How do I change this back to
Windows Media Player without removing iTunes?

Thanks,

Hi ChuckW,

Open WMP. Click Tools/Options/File Types tab.

-or-

Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs/Set Program access and defaults/Custom/Windows Media Player. Click OK

And then in iTunes:

Open iTunes.

From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

Click the Advanced button and then click the General tab.

Deselect "Use iTunes as the default player for all audio files"

And then:

- Leave nasty notes around user's desk for installing software without
permission.
