i want by default to play on says windows media player when i double click rather that everytime i right click and select particular player. please advise
Let me re-phrase my comment:

Right click Choose Open With then Choose default Program.

Select Windows Media Player from the list and tick the box that says Always use this program to open this type of file.

Click OK and that will change the default program that opens MP4 files.

OR

Download VLC Player (when installing choose custom install so that you don't install any "other" software.
VLC Player
