Does anyone know how to make my videos downloaded from the internet open in Windows Media Player instead of Quicktime player...
it's starting to annoy me lol

1. Change file assoiciation to Windows Media Player. Contrary to the above post, WMP can still play MOV files
2. Control Panel -> Classic Interface -> Add/Remove Programs -> Set program access and defaults -> windows media player
To get #1 to work without having quicktime (which is good, quicktime is crap), install QuickTime Alternative
Do realize if you are interested in transcoding MOV to something more sane like AVI, nvidia's 9xxx drives are, for some god unknown reason, going to interfere with the audio (i.e., no idea stream). There are workarounds thoat first i didn't realize quicktime alternative was a codec. i was gonna start yelling and screaming and whining (polysyndeton) that windows can't play .mov videos.
yes!! make quicktime obsolete!! whoot!
I liked WMP8 the mostPost Scriptum: btw... my brother claims that windows 8 has better sound than windows 10. windows 10 also has songs organized by albums, which are annoying. there is more eye candy in windows media player 10.. i dono if my brother's claim is true (he is obsessed with sound/speakers/gaming with sound...), so i suggest to stick with the 8. and if you're wondering what happened to 9.. well 9 was designed primarily for xp service pack 1, but since they have 2 out, they want everyone with media player 10, which is compadable with only service pack 2 (this was a bitch because back in the day i had an unactivated [i couldnt activate it without wasting 100-200 bucks on a goddamn cd] service pack 1, couldnt update it to a service pack 2, so i couldn't get the latest version, not even 9!). i have an obsession of having the latest version of everything... dont ask. the reason 8 is still out there is because it's the latest version that windows 2000/nt supports.
