I’ve just noticed something really annoying about XP SP3

It constantly wants to make Windows Media Player the default application for AVI files.

Since I use winpatrol to monitor for changes to default file associations, I just click on “NO, don’t allow the change”.

But a few minutes later, I’m asked again!

I’ve never seen WMP so keen to change default file associations.

To fix it, I go into WMP, and go to tools -> options -> file types -> and then untick avi (and anything else I don’t want (ie: most things).
