Windows Media Player is set as the default media program for Windows 7 installations. If you double-click a file on the computer and Windows Media Player is capable of playing that file, the file will open in Windows Media Player. This action also occurs with files stored on external media such as a flash drive. If you have iTunes installed, you can configure Windows 7 so that compatible files from the flash drive will open in iTunes and not Windows Media Player.
Instructions
1. Click "Start," then click "Default Programs."
2. Click "Set your default programs" from the center section of the Default Programs window.
3. Click "iTunes" in the "Programs" column on the left side of the Set Default Programs window.
4. Click "Set this program as default" at the bottom of the window, then click "OK."
5. Connect the flash drive to a USB port on the computer.
6. Click "Open folder to view files" in the "AutoPlay" pop-up window. If you have disabled AutoPlay, click "Start," then "Computer" and double-click the flash drive icon.
7. Double-click a media file on the flash drive to open it in iTunes.
