Changing default program slow downs opening

Vista Ultimate

Since WMP doesn't shut down completely, I had to change the default program
from WMP to Media Center. Since then, when I try to open a MPG or WMV file
using a link in IE7, it takes about 1 minute for the program to appear.
Setting it back to WMP (and making sure WMP is not in the process list in
task manager), it opens instantly.

I've tried with other video programs like Divx or Windows media player
classic and got the same behavior.

any ideas ?
