And also the folder in %appdata%.
Download the ZIP file and extract to a folder of your choice. Create a new file - mplayerc.ini (mpc-hc.ini for Home Cinema), open in notepad and add 1 line of code:
The newer version doesnt create the appdata files
even when you set the player as the default for certain file types
It keeps the files in the program folder now
I just meant the newer MPC-HC creates the same files but in the app's directory.
I always used MPC-HC as my default player so I always seen the default.mpcpl file was always there in the %userprofile%\appdata folders.
but I have also always used an ini file for settings so I didnt know that was why,I thought it was cuz I made filetype associations....if that makes any sense

Well, since I don't yet see a consensus, I just edited the entry to point to this thread. I don't want visitors to think that us linking to it means the program is naively portable.

Consensus?
Looking at the "Video - Players" category, Media Player Classic is the only player that has "System codecs" mentioned as a dependency. It has always been there, so it's Andrew who originally decided to mention codecs in the dependency field.
So yes, I think "System codecs" should be removed from the dependency fields of both entries. I'll wait overnight (GMT+2): if no one either objects to the change or commits it, I'll do it.
