[QUOTE="Midget, post: 202930, member: 57489"] Maybe in the "open" shell command there are some parameters to select "priority" on the associated programs. If I select "open with" on a mpg file I'll found a dialog with 2 applications trees. In the first tree (suggested applications) there are 4 programs: Avant Browser, GSpot, VLC, Windows Media Player. VLC is already selected by default. In the second tree (other applications) there are many other programs like Internet Explorer, WinRAR, WinZIP, Excel, Word, etc, etc and Notepad (at the 4th position). Anyway if I open the folder with Explorer (or with Total Commander which I use mostly) the icons on video files are the typical VLC cone and the double click starts VLC. A hint may came from the right click on the video file: the options are "play" (which start VLC), "open with notepad", "add to Windows Media Player playlist", "play with Windows Media Player", "scan with antivirus", "edit with notepad++". Maybe if you call "open" it opens with notepad, the trick would be to call "play" instead (if possible of course !) :thx: Midget [/QUOTE]
