How do I change what a file is always set to open with?

[Evilhugbear]

Hello, I have a movie as a .iso, I opened it with alcohol 120%. After that, I clicked mount. I accidentally clicked windows media player as the program to open with and the "always open with this program" was checked. Now, whenever I mount it, the file open into WMP. How do I change this to VLC?

Go to Default program, see which ones are listed and remove the association.

Or open Alcoho1 120% and look through options for file associations.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but what happens is I mount it and then it immediately opens WMP so I can't pick what to open with.

Is there a Open With.......entry on the right-clickt comyexy menu?

If you can't change the association via rt. click/open with, you can do it here. Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations.
