Out of the blue yesterday, all media defaulted to use DAPlayer to start up for some bizzare reason, rather than VLC as normal. I barely use DAP now as the makers gave up support for it some time ago.
I changed the default back to VLC but this made no difference, everything was still using DAP, I decided to delete DAP and now all media has no association, but I still have set it every single time ( I did check the tick box btw)
Avira and malware scans were run (albeit not from safe mode) and found nothing.
Nothing new was installed recently and from what I can see nothing else is wrong. Any ideas? (Windows 7 btw)
TIA

vl has an option to manage associations at the bottom of the main preference screen.
There are some glowing reviews of Slim Cleaner (not cheap IMHO) but here's one that thinks differently and warns of pitfalls

With regards to slim cleaner, I much prefer it to ccleaner. I know I have to be alot more careful with it, I never thought about restore points tbh!
Just reinstalled VLC and all SEEMS tobe fine now. cheers.
Now to set Slimcleaner not to delete restore points.....
