Copy the following into a file called, say, : Windows Registry Editor Version Files (x86)\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe\' -started-from-file dvd://%1' This can alternatively be achieved via a registry import.

Copy the latter value into the former entry.Note that is set to “C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe” –started-from-file dvd://%1.Note that is set to “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe” /prefetch:4 /device:DVD “%L”.Open regedit: enter “regedit” into the search box on the Start button’s pop-up dialog.However, I was still finding that Windows Media Player would always start when I double-clicked the DVD drive icon.Įventually, I decided to have a bit of a dig around in the system. Having spent some time searching the web for an answer to this question, I found the same partial information repeated many times.
