On one of these other sites someone suggested to those whose Windows Media Player forces itself to Library to create the shortcut in exactly the same way but to edit the target path by adding:Īt the end. I've created the shortcut, edited the target path, trying out " /Task Library" and " /Task MediaLibrary" but always the same result.
I only have one Program Files directory (the above thread mentioned a x086 directory that I don't have). That’s about it! You can easily control which files are opened with which programs using the Default Programs feature in Windows 8.I tried the fix discussed in that thread and I'm getting the result that John originally had, where it stays open in Library view for half a second and then forces itself back into Now Playing view. For example, if I wanted Windows Photo Viewer to open photos, then I would go to it’s defaults and check all the boxes for the file types it supports. If you want a different app to open photos, go to the defaults for that app and then check the boxes for the files types you want to open automatically using the other app. Click on Photos to see what files are set to open with the program by default and check or uncheck depending on which program you want to use. So if you wanted to change from using Windows Media Player, you would check the box and then click Save.įor Photos or any other app, it’s the same procedure. This will then associate the current program with that file type. If you want the current program to open the files, just check the box and then click the Save button. m2ts files had Not selected set as the current default.

Scroll down the list until you get to Video and it’ll tell you how many defaults are set to that app or program. Instead, you can go to Control Panel and click on Default Programs. This is the easiest method for changing the default program for one particular file type, but if you want to change the default player for all video file types, for example, this would be very time consuming. You can then pick the app from the list or click More options if the program you want to use is not listed.
