Go to your shared folder (outside of Limewire)
Right click on your file
Select Open with
Choose your desired player and check the box that says always open this type of file with this program....

Is this any help? Setting Default video app. After right clicking & choosing open with, if you don't see WMP Classic listed, then choose Other ... & search for it.

Also check WMP 11's options. I think it has an option for being default.
... under WMP's Tools>Options>File Types you can specify which ones it's the default for. So you can uncheck some of those for WMP 11

hey, new to LW.. i DL'd VLC and did everything you said, including checking off the WMP things and doing the whole open with thing and checking the box. Now when i go to launch a movie from LW it doesnt open up VLC, yet if i open VLC and open the movie from there, it works.... Is it possible to just open it straight from LW?

Not if you're using Windows. The same goes for previewing a movie...open your incomplete folder outside of LW & VLC will preview from there:wink:

You can also use the Launch function for the incomplete folder. Both techniques do not create a preview file which takes up unnecessary space. If problems doing it this way then do as birdy suggests.
