Program files (x86)

[Osho80]

Some programs I installed went to program files (x86), while others went to the "usuall" program files. For some reason, I cant chose programs that are on the 86 to be used as default. E.g. I want VLC to be the default player for videos, or winamp for music. Apperantly, the computer doesnt seem able to do so continues to use windows media player. Any suggestions?

Program files (x86) is a folder for 32bit Softwares that are compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. Well you can choose these softwares as defaults, may be you are doing something wrong...

Hi, this is not a problem of your operating system. You need to do setting regarding it. The format which you want to open with the particular software can be set as follows:

• Just right click on that file and select properties.
• In the general tab select on Change which will open the set of open with options window.
• Now select the particular software you want to use for that file and click on OK.
• Done.
