Hello. :)

 

 

 

Now, I've managed to find a way for both the media, and for the images however not the Internet.

 

 

 

To set Windows Media Player for default, you will have to open up windows media player.

 

 

 

From there take this path:

 

 

 

Tools > Options > File Types.

 

 

 

Then you can select the required types of media to play. If you wish for Windows Media Player to be default for everything, simply click on 'Select All' then click apply, then Ok.

 

 

 

Now to open all pictures in Paint, you will have to go into a folder with a picture in.

 

 

 

Right click on that picture, and then click 'Open With.'

 

Then click on 'Choose Program' and select paint.

 

Then select, 'Always open this file type with this program'

 

 

 

All your pictures/photos everything, should now open with Paint.

 

 

 

Hope that help. ;)

How do i set my computer to automatily: open Firefox when opening a link.

 

 

 

Impossible,if you are running a microsoft applaication and click a link it will open IE

 

 

 

well,almost all

Open Firefox and go to Tools > Options

 

 

 

right on the general tab there is a checkbox that says "check if firefox is my default browser" , click check now and it will ask you if you want to set it as the default , MOST links will now open with Firefox by default. As said above , alot of microsoft applications will force links to open in IE .

 

 

 

 

 

You will also want to disable the default check for IE so when it does start , it wont keep asking you to make it the default , this is done on the "programs" tab in IE's options (check box is on the bottom)

You can also right click on a file, select "open with" and then select from a list of programs, and then check the box "always use this program to open this type of file" or something like that.
