For some reason, Vista just won't me associate WMV to Media Player Classic. I've tried to right click -> Open With, check the file property and select Change, I just can't get Media Player Classic to appear under the list of 'Recommended Programs' or 'Other Programs' after I point it mplayerc.exe. To make things worse, Vista had no issue with allowing to associate WMV files with WinRaR and I can't find the option to remove WinRaR from the list of Recommended Programs.
Edit: Okay, I've managed to dissociate WinRaR from WMV by removing an entry in the registry. But I am still puzzled as to why MPC can't be associated with WMV. Technically, it is in the OpenWithList in the registry. But there is a key under OpenWithProgids called WMP11.AssocFile.WMV, and I am wondering if that has anything to do with the persistent file association hijack.
