Jerry, this is what I was getting at in trying to steer you to "file associations." Once you locate the extension in that list, you can tab to find out which application it is associated with. You can then change that default so that the file is associated with WMP, that is, so that WMP becomes the default player.
If you can't follow the instructions I posted yesterday for based on my Win7 experience, perhaps Kevin or another lister can give you specifics for Win10. Or you can Google it. "File association" is the concept you want to look into. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jyandt.mar...@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2016 8:59 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player Thanks. Now can you supply the instructions for doing this? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 7:29 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player you must set wmp as the default music player. if you don't groove music will play your music files. -----Original Message----- From: jyandt.mar...@comcast.net Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 6:50 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player Okay ... now we are cooking with Crisco. I opened "This PC", went to "OS", found the Program Files and sent Windows Media Player to my desktop. First problem solved. Now, is there a "repair" function in it? For some reason, I am having trouble opening music files that are saved on my computer via media player, even though there is an option for doing so. Thanks agin for the help thus far. -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 8:14 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player You won't find the "program files (x86)" folder either of those ways, not on my system. On mine, you must go to the C drive via "Computer." I don't know the Win10 equivalent. No oops this time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jyandt.mar...@comcast.net Sent: Monday, November 07, 2016 8:30 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player I went back into my control panel, but could not find a folder named "Program Files". I also typed in program files in the search box in Windows 10, no success. And do not worry about the name confusion. It is Monday; but you are allowed only 1 "ooops" on Mondays. -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Monday, November 7, 2016 7:24 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player Jerry, sorry for addressing you by the wrong name! -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Monday, November 07, 2016 8:23 AM To: 'jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com' Subject: RE: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player Jim, I'm using Windows 7, but the same explanation may apply to Windows 10. On your root C drive, you should find two "Program files" folders. The second should be labeled "program files (x86)." That's where I find WMP on my system. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of jyandt.mar...@comcast.net Sent: Monday, November 07, 2016 8:05 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Lost Media Player Morning to all. I cannot find Windows Media Player in my programs folder of Control Panel. However, using Windos 10, I can press the windows key, type in media player, press enter, and it comes up. Can anyone explain this curiosity? I am having some issues with it and am trying to find a repair tool for it. Many thanks. “The rule of Holes: If you are in one, stop digging.” Jerry D.
