Unhappy need help please!!!!

hello,
I'm somewhat new to computers and I use limewire. I had not had any problems like this till today. I use windows media player. When I double click on a downloaded song it would go straight to windows media player, also the icon next to the songs in the search had a WMP icon next to them. Today when I did my search all the icons came up as iTunes, and when I double clicked on the downloaded songs it whent straight to iTunes. I dont like to use iTunes and want to put it back on my WMP. Can someone explain how I do this? thank yo Lizzie

your default application for that file type has been changed. To change it back follow the instructions in this link. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...lt+application

I already checked out that link and I am lost. My computer doesnt look anything like what is being shown. I went into my folder and can open it with wmp, but I dont realy know how to burn songs like that. What I usualy do is download a song, double click on it and it opens up in wmp, then I put it on a playlist and burn it, now when i double click on it it opens up with iTunes, how do I change it back to media player? also, before when I downloaded a song the wmp icon was next to it, now its iTunes? If I was to start useing the folders to make playlist and stuff I think I would have to deleate everything in there and start over because I have so many songs downloaded and they are in random places it would take me for ever to organize them. One other thing is I heard that maybe winamp would be better that wmp, is this true, and if I downloaded it would I have the same problem? I am useing windows xp sp2 if this makes a difference. thank you
oh, i'm also very new to limewire/computers so some of the instructions may as well be in chinese LOL. Could you maybe suggest an easier one to use?

Hi godundastandzme

What windows version are you using

Hi HorrorFreakNY

have no idea what you are talking about. I never put any link in your post, and have no idea what caused your problem.

hey, I,m useing winows xp sp2 home edition, but I think I figured it out. I whent into the control panel/set program access and defaults, and changed my media player back to wmp as the default player and it seemed to work. I just wonder why it was ever changed in the first place, Im the only one who uses this computer. Also I mention in the last post about winamp, do you suggest this as opposed to wmp? is it better, and if I was to download it how would I get it to be my default media player? thanks for your help. Lizzie

I don't use winamp, but I have read it is a good player. You would set it the same way you set WMP as your default application for that file type.

I believe several members here use it, and prefer it over WMP.
