    Windows Media centre seems to have become my default


    Hi There all,
    Its my first time on this site and forum, recommended by a friend so bear with me please, and hello to everyone.
    My problem is that Windows media centre will not allow me to open any programmes it seems to have taken over as my default, I have tried going in to control panel, programmes, to turn off windows features but as soon as i do up pops windows media centre, I have tried removing windows media centre but cant find it on un-install programmes, most of my desk top programmes have the windows media centre icon on them like it must be that which opens them. can anyone help me. James.
