In my case, when I open a file browser and double-click on a<br>
MP4 video file, mine pops up with RealPlayer. Somehow<br>
MP4 files are chosen to open RealPlayer. What I want to<br>
do is the change the default so that it opens the MPlayer<br>
for example.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Ok, I figured it out. Just open the property of the file<br>
in question and select "Open With" and select the default<br>
player. Simple.<br>
