how to make windows media player the default player?

I am running windows xp and windows media player 10.I want to make it my default player. where do I go to do this? I looked just wbout everywhere possible in the windows media player options,and couldn't find it anywhere,so it must be on the computer itself somewhere,but where? thanks,Ben

In media player, look under tools, options, and under the File Types tab you should find a button that will let you "select all" to make media player the default for all file types that it is capable of playing.

Hope this helps.

YOu can also use the "program access and defaults" link in the start menu to change it.
