Windows Media Player Is Not on the Default Programs List missing set change add

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER DOES NOT APPEAR ON MY COMPUTERS DEFAULT PROGRAMS LIST

Many people have this problem and many people use registry cleaners in their normal computer use. However, these registry cleaning programs damage your registry and mess up your happy computer time, especially when you get a seemingly stubborn problem such as this.

The first time you notice a problem is when you try to stream audio, usually from an online radio station by choosing the WMP option on the webpage. A program "tries" to download and play but it just hangs there getting to 15 per cent then going back to zero. The program will play if you choose the Real Player or the Quicktime options, though.

Here is your solution:

Re-instate WMP as the default media player

Follow the instructions and your computer will run like new.
