WMP FAQ: A trouble-shooting guide for Windows Media Player problems.

May 9, 2008

Vista-only: If you want to use the 64bit version of WMP as the default player on Vista 64-bit, run “unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64″ from an ELEVATED (admin) cmd.exe prompt and then set registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\wmplayer.exe, “Path” to be “%Programfiles%\Windows Media Player”. To undo that, reset the “Path” value and then run “unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:32″ from an elevated cmd.exe prompt.
