An avi annoyance with XP SP3 !

Computer Aid Posted on 16 June, 2008 by Luigi Martin16 June, 2008

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).
