Your going to need a sample of the file type that you want to default to VLC.

I know there's a preference pane that you can install that lets you set the default program. I believe it's this one.

Wow. Thank you very much Sir. I appreciate your help. I guess there really is no reason as to why you would need to vlc to be default if you have no media to play, I was just curious. Thanks again;)
