 | View Full Version : How do I "reclaim" file associations? TheMMIz 09-15-2002, 09:47 PM Hello, I recently downloaded WinAmp 3.whatever, and it stole all the media file associations, so now every media file opens in it. I want to change back the movie files to open in Windows Media Player. How do I do that? Thanks.
