How do i make VLC my default video player?

Question

I am running windows vista

Answer 1

Open Default Programs by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Default Programs.

From there you can change the video files to use vlc instead of media player.

Answer 2

right click on the video file, go to properties, you will see "open with" message, click change.

Answer 3

Just right click (holding the shift key pressed) the media file that you wanna play with VLC player will show open with... as one of the options. This will show you programs installed on your computer. Choose VLC player and tick the option beneath (Always use this program...) and that it.

Another way is changing file associations which is bit harder.

Good Luck
