Default IE6 defaults to WMP6.4

Hi
When browse with Internet Explorer and open a movieclip, it opens oldish
mplayer2.exe instead of wmplayer.exe. All this happened after I did run a
regsvr32 bat file that reregisters many dll files. Had a problem with Windows
Update and I did get a bat file from a friend that did fix it, but now I have
a media player problem. My friend has also same problem and he has not found
any solution for it. Have tried to recreate file extensions but with no
success, even when I choose wmplayer it opens mplayer2. Please help me out
with this...

I imagine the easiest thing to try is to reinstall WMP (whichever
version you have). I believe the setup files are within the WMP folder
itself, assuming you previously had it. Otherwise you can download it
from MS.

Found a solution for it;

"Windows Media Player 6.4 is embedded in Web pages even when Windows Media
Player 9 Series or Windows Media Player 10 is installed"

This solved my problem, thanx anyway
