I want to use WMP on Windows 7 and vLC pops up and don't like the big black ugly screen

Media player... has controls and I can interface music with it... vlc is a big black ugly screen how do i go back to windows media player... besides... vlc has taken over everything... and nobody gives out free lunches. How soon till they start demanding money?

Right-click on media file, "Open with...", select Windows Media Player, click on "Always open..."

^^ Yup.

Another way:

Open control panel - on top right where it says search Control Panel, type in 'file association' - it'll pull up 'Change the file type associated with a file extention'. Find the file extention you want, select it. Click 'Change Program'. Pick the program you want to associate it with.

His way is easier though.

Well..I've been using it for over 15 years. They haven't started yet...
