Windows Media Player the Default

Over 3 weeks ago I posted this to
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices and never got a reply.

Whenever I insert a movie DVD disc in the drive, Windows Media Center always
opens. I have set AutoPlay to open with Windows Media Player, but Media
Center opens every time. Is there a way to make Windows Media Player start
whenever I insert a movie DVD in the drive? Thanks for any help.

Have you gone into the Start Menu and used the Default Programs to change the
settings? Also open Computer>Organize>Folder Options. Choose the File tab
and select the DVD Format and change the default program there if the first
option does not work.

Thanks for your reply. I tried both options, but Windows Media Center still
opens when I insert a DVD.

There is only two places that you should have
to change to get Media Player as default.
Start>All Programs>Default Programs>
Set Your default Programs and then> Change Autoplay
Settings.

If that doesn't work there is something else wrong.
