   Select one type of file you want to be associated with Windows Media player   
   (e.g.*.mp3) with shift button pressed. It will give you an option to open   
   the program with,   
   choose select program.   
   It will give you list of all the programs registered. Select Windows Media   
   player  and donot forget to tick   
   Always use the selected program to open this kind of file.   
   Click OK   
   Now Windows Media player  is the default player for mp3.   
   Repeat the procedure to make other file types also(like mpeg,Midi,Au etc)   
   HTH
