Unhappy Need help switching video players from quicktime to windows media player!!!!

I've had limewire basic for a while now and before all my videos that i have downloaded on limewire were viewed on windows media player. I left my computer one day, come back the next, and everything switched to quicktime. My quicktime is messed up big time and I cant even uninstall it or reinstall it for whatever reason. I want to know how to switch my video player back to windows media player. Some advice would greatly be appreciated.


Thank You!!!

(edit)

Outside of Limewire

Just right-click on a videofile, choose open with>choose program. The click on WMP and check the "always use on..." box. Press OK

You have to do this with all formats. (e.g. if you do this with a .avi file then Quicktime will still open when clicking on a .mpg file)

Oops my bad

You have to do this outside of Limewire

Your downloads will usually be at

C:\Documents and Settings\**Your Username**\Shared
