Hi guys.

I have a Logitech Internet 350
https://www.amazon.ca/Logitech-Internet-350-Keyboard-Mouse/dp/B000HX1P8G

The upper most left hotkey is opening a player (I never installed a driver for this keyboard, windows 7 always knows what the hot keys do).

Anyway, hitting that key would open winamp (yes I still use that)

Recently I installed VLC to watch movies and connect remotely. However, ever since, that key now opens VLC instead of Winamp to listen to my music.

Question is: Where in Windows 7 can I re-assign the default program for this keyboard to open winamp instead of VLC?

Thank you

If you reinstall Winamp it will associate music files to Winamp and leave video files associated to VLC. If you "Update" VLC, then you need to use the "Customize" settings and uncheck all the music file associations, to leave them associated to Winamp.

Very easy. The functionality of the key you are using is opening the default media player. Thereby you need to change the default player that this key opens. To do that, go to the Start orb and in search enter: set default programs. Now Look at my screenshot.

Side note:

Why use a key when you can use your voice? I use this software to command several things. Among them Spotify. But you should create a "wake/trigger" word otherwise it'll burp a lot... So for example. "Alice, play." "Alice, skip." "Alice, pause." "Alice, open Keepass." "Alice, open Bitwarden." And in game. "Alice, commence tea bag." :D
