So cannot make any changes. After installing GoToMeeting Codec, all my programs opens in Windows Media Player with Error Message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file". All the programs include IE Browser, Mozilla Browser, Microsoft Programs (Word, Excel, Frontpage). The properties of all my EXE files show Target Type as "Windows Media Player", instead of "exe" type. Tried to uninstall the codec, but cannot find it in the list of Add/Remove Programs. Go to properties of the EXE files to change the default program, but "change" option not available. Go to Default Programs and click on “Set Program Acess and Computer defaults”, but it opens up Media Player too. So cannot make any changes.
