I would not revert for reasons like this.

I would look for the cause in two directions, both concerning the Registry:
either that the new settings don't make it into the Registry files,
or that something keeps restoring the Registry into the state prior to your
adjustment.
It takes somebody more expierenced in this respect for a more precise
answer.

A futile explanation would be, that you log into your computer using
different accounts - that use different settings.

the problem righted it self. I installed a free media player and made that
my default player.Then i opened wmp and made that my default player.all is
fine now.i don't know how it worked,but it did.computers are a pita
sometimes,aren't they.thanks again
