Vista Home Premium - Play All doesn't work

I've Vista Home Premium. Play All has stopped functioning recently. When
trying to play all the music tracks in a folder I get ' the archive is either
in unknown format or damaged' message appearing for every song in the folder.
I can select all the tracks by right clicking and open with Media Player 11
and all tracks will play, so the problem is located with the Vista Play All
function.

RE: Vista Home Premium - Play All doesn't work

Fixed this myself, may be helpful to others.
Click on Play, select the 'Choose Default Program' option and select Windows
Media Player and save or click ok. Before I found the solution Vista was
using Winrar to try to play the audio file, hence the message 'the archive is
either in unknown format or damaged'
