[thelist] Default CD Player (OT)

[Jonathan_A_McPherson at rl.gov]

Another way to do it, for those who don't mind messing with the registry
(this is for Win2K, not sure about other versions of Windows):

Change the value under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AudioCD\shell\play\command
to the fully qualified (i.e. c:\mydir\myplayer.exe) path of the program that
ought to be invoked when an audio CD is inserted.

I find the easiest way to reset file associations is
shift-right-click-"open with".  Then I tick  the box that says
"always use this application to open this type of file".  No
mucking around under the hood to do it this way.
