Is the german windows as buggy as the french one ? ;-)

Yes, that's what I was thinking.
I've done some tries, but the result is still the same
I've try to put VLC for Open and Play, only one of them, one other action 
as default... no change.

The line for VLC (in "advanced") is :
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VideoLAN Client\vlc.exe" %1

(as for WMP it's "C:\Path-To-WMP\wmp.exe" %1)

Is it something wrong in this ?
And does it need a(nother) reboot to be take in count ?

If I doubleclick, or do Right-Click/Open ou Right-Click/Play (and VLC set 
as "viewer" for these actions), there's nothing coming to screen.

If I put WMP instead, the same actions are working as expected.

That's why I wonder if there's a particular way to tell VLC to open and 
play a file

(like : something different than vlc.exe %1)

If some of you have VLC as default player under W2000, it would be nice 
show me the lines of File Type.

Thanks again,
Fabien
