Hi Open Windows Media Player>click organize. Taking advantage of the situation I decided to. In my 4 years old H P Pavilion Media Center desktop with windows Vista x 64, recently I had to change the HD. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Setup\CreatedLinks After two daysof fruitlesssearch in the Internet to solve the problem by myself Im forced to resort to yours knowledge to ask for help. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\MuiCache What do they do and should they be modified? I don't know what these keys do and wonder if they need to be changed too. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\-PLAYSINGLE\shell\open\command HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DLNA-PLAYSINGLE\shell\open\command I am fairly sure these keys need to be modified as well since they are file type/web protocol associations, right? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\mplayer2.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\mplayer2.exe I believe these keys involve launching WMP from the Run box using an alias (i.e., mplayer2), right? I am very sure these two keys need to be changed. (3) Do the keys that show up in the WOW6432Node in particular need the paths changed from Program Files (x86) to Program Files? For example, this is a good app to use to view AVI files. Thats why a lot of people like to use the Windows Media Player 11 when theyre viewing file types from a few years ago. (2) Do the paths need to be changed from Program Files (x86) to Program Files? This app is still being used, but it is from a few years back when Microsoft XP was commonly being used. Soooo, my three questions are, for these remaining keys (see below) with the path still pointing to Program Files (x86). However, after a search for "mplayer2.exe" in the registry, not all keys related to WMP point to Program Files in the path, some still point to Program Files (x86). HKLM\Software\CLASSES\CLSID\\LocalServer32 These key modifications involve switching several WMP related key paths from Program Files (x86) to Program Files. Windows 10 圆4 Education v20H2.Īfter an internet search, I found two solutions to switch to the 64-bit Windows Media Player: (1) Install Local Subtitles for WMP ( ) which has an option during installation to launch 64-bit WMP by default and (2) a more manual guide ( ) which involves a %WinDir%\system32\unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64 command followed by some registry key modifications. I am comfortable with editing the registry and backup regularly.
Apparently, this process involves more than just changing the shortcuts in desktop, start menu and taskbar to reference mplayer2.exe in Programs Files directory, the location of 64-bit WMP, and not Program Files (x86), location of 32-bit WMP. My goal is to enable the use of 64-bit version of Windows Media Player (WMP) by default.
