I don't know what these keys do and wonder if they need to be changed too. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\-PLAYSINGLE\shell\open\command HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DLNA-PLAYSINGLE\shell\open\command I am fairly sure these keys need to be modified as well since they are file type/web protocol associations, right? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\mplayer2.exe HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\mplayer2.exe I believe these keys involve launching WMP from the Run box using an alias (i.e., mplayer2), right? I am very sure these two keys need to be changed. (3) Do the keys that show up in the WOW6432Node in particular need the paths changed from Program Files (x86) to Program Files? (2) Do the paths need to be changed from Program Files (x86) to Program Files? Soooo, my three questions are, for these remaining keys (see below) with the path still pointing to Program Files (x86).

Windows 10 圆4 Education v20H2.Īfter an internet search, I found two solutions to switch to the 64-bit Windows Media Player: (1) Install Local Subtitles for WMP ( ) which has an option during installation to launch 64-bit WMP by default and (2) a more manual guide ( ) which involves a %WinDir%\system32\unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64 command followed by some registry key modifications. I am comfortable with editing the registry and backup regularly. Apparently, this process involves more than just changing the shortcuts in desktop, start menu and taskbar to reference mplayer2.exe in Programs Files directory, the location of 64-bit WMP, and not Program Files (x86), location of 32-bit WMP. My goal is to enable the use of 64-bit version of Windows Media Player (WMP) by default.
