Default WMP avi codecs


When I played an .avi file on WMP9, I was told that the file has an
extension that did not match the format and did I want to proceed -yes or
no. On one occassion I said 'no' and now most .avi files just won't play.
Does anyone know how I can revert the player to 'yes' so it can play. On
the files that won't play, I've tried it on another machine and it plays
fine.

TIA




Chef!

Right-click an AVI file in an Explorer window and choose
'Open with>Choose program'. Now select Windows Media
Player from the list that appears and check the box "Always use
this program open these files".
