A default application is a program that Windows uses when you open a particular file, such as a music file, an image, or a webpage. To change the application used by Windows to open a specific file extension, follow the procedures below:
1. Click on the Start button and open the "Default Programs" tool:
Default_Programs
2. Select the "Associate a file type with a program" option to fine-tune default programs based on the file type or protocol.
3. For instance, select the.MXF extension and press the "Change program..." button, set open using the VLC application:
VLC_application
