    Say I put in a disk and I decide to Play using Windows Media Player and check the box to always do this.
    I then want that original box to come up asking me which program I would like to use instead automatically launching Media Player.
    Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks.

    Open up My Computer and right click on the drive and select the Autoplay tab. Click on the Restore defaults button.

    If that doesn't work post back.

    I'm going to bump in here, how do I change the media player if I want to download a small music clip. The reason I ask is I get this message with the windows media player (an internal application error has occured) when I try to get some files that I have downloaded before. Dean
