Testing Area

Right-click on the video file that you want VLC to open by default. Choose properties. Now in the properties window, click on the tab named Open With.

In the tab Open With just choose VLC as your player for that type of file. Just remember that you will have to do this for each and every type of video/audio file (e.g., mpg, avi, rm, mkv, ogg, mp3, etc.)

If the VLC icon doesn't show up on the Open With tab, click on the add button in the lower corner to the right of the window that has a plus sign, and locate VLC on the window that pops up that is called Add Application.
