Hi, I'm having trouble with XP pro SP2, mainly with windows not
remembering what program to open media files with. I want windows to
open certain media files with Mplayer2 (I still thinks its the best
because it has more viewing area, less rescources and no spam) but
after I tell windows to assign mplayer2 to open certain media files a
dialog box opens to ask which program to open that media file with
("choose the program you want to use to open this file" ). Why is
this? Why is windows opening this dialog box when, I have already
assigned (permanently) it to the program (box ticked "always use the
selected program to open this kind of file") I wished?

Please advise.
TIA!
 
pick the program again and click on "always use the selcted program to open
this kind of file". that should work
