 I downloaded real player and missed unchecking the box to make real player
the default video player. I want to restore the window media player. Is
there an easy fix?

 Right-click on the media file that you want to play with Windows Media Player
and choose Open With [Choose Program]. Select Windows Media Player from the
program list and make a check mark on "Always use this program to open this
kind of file" to make Windows Media Player as the default player for that
Media File. You can repeat this step for every media file you want to play
with WMP.

Hope this help, let us know!

Extending Taskbar in 2 Rows can be useful, if you want to see Date along

In WMP11 menu Extras:Options tabfolder Filetypes (sorry a translation) you
have the list of all mediatypes that are handled by WMP11 - just tick the
checkboxes. This way might be easier than going through every file in
explorer listing.
