Hi Tom. Well. I tried reassociating with the method you outlined but it never
sticks. I think VLC is switching them back. I made sure to tick always use
this program.
I just uninstalled VLC. It's not a bad program but I don't like a program that
doesn't tell me what's going on.

Hi,
All this sounds like a major hassle to me. One of the easiest ways that I've
found to repair file associations, at least in Windows XP, is to locate the
file of a particular type, for example a .mp3 file, use the context menu and
click on "open With". In the resulting dialog, choose the program that you want
to use to open that file, and there should be a checkbox or radio button that
indicates that you always want to use the selected program to open the file.
Click OK and it's done.
I'm not sure how this works in Vista or Windows 7.

Thanks. I'll try that but I didn't see anything in the VLC installer about
file associations.
I wonder if I should uninstall VLC then do a system restore.

Try doing a restore back to before you installed the application. Then
install again, but be wary of accepting any inclination to assign file
associations.

Subject: setting VLC file associations with Jaws
I recently installed the VLC Media player. Now it wants to associate
file type I prefer to open with different programs. I opened the file
associations window and found the entries in a tree view but there are no
graphics, checkboxes or any other indication if a type is on or off. The Jaws
cursor doesn't even see any text.
Any ideas how to repair my associations without sighted help?
