Can not associate AVI with Classic Media Player

[gargoyle47]

Can not associate AVI with Classic Media Player.
It seem that no matter what I try I just can not get a AVI to associate with the Classic Media Player.

I have:
Gone to Tool/ File type/ Avi/ Edit / Classic Media player

Right click on file Open with choose Classic Media Play (checked off always Use)

Right click choose from Listed programs Classic media Player.

None of the above will stick. If I double click on the avi in Windows Explorer it wants to install the MS Windows Media Player.

How do I change this so it is set for Classic Media Player not installMS Windows Media Player?

File Associations

Fix file associations from the Command Line: Did you leave the Always Use This Program To Open This File option
turned on? Do you want to change it back so it prompts you to specify a program each time? To delete the association
with that file type, at the command prompt enter the command ASSOC.EXT= [where .EXT specifies the extension of
the file type whose association you want to delete (e.g., .WAV for wave files)].
