Anyone here familiar with VLC please? It has taken over various file
associations I had mainly assigned to Media Player Classic, such as
.WMV, .ASX, .MPEG and .MP4. Oddly, using Open With, selecting Media
Player and checking 'Always use...' doesn't fix this. And in VLC
itself I can see no section for assigning File Associations.

I have found where the VLC Icon seems to get
itself associated, but a look at the file's properties
shows that "Opens with:" is associated with a
different player (MPC, for me as well). The "Type
of file:" listed is "VLC media file", but its double-
click response is to launch and play with MPC.
Sometimes updating and/or installing different
software makes unnoticed small changes to the XP
associations and naming settings. My system gets
these features fiddled with, a lot. As long as it
launches the right program, I seldom bother with
fixing the naming or Icon used.
Luck;
Ken
