What I wanna do is not to uninstall certain apps but to completely hide it. For example I'm using VLC I didn't want to uninstall the default Movie Player, but I didn't want to have it run my videos either.
The problem with this app was that even if VLC was set as default video player on double click Movie Player started to play videos.
My solution for above mentioned problem was right click on video, properties tab, choosing VLC from list of recommended apps and setting it as default choice, however I had to repeat it different times (for each video type)



Any suggestions how to force system to use my choice of apps. Something more global as solution where I don't have to do workarounds but just set my system to use the apps I want.
