Every time I put a CD in, I get a window coming up asking which program I want to run it with; ie. Windows Media Player, Winamp, various others..

I accidentally clicked the "Always use this choice" button followed by Windows Media Player, so now it won't give me the option anymore.

How do I go back and force it to bring up the choice again

I wish I knew how to do this too. Realplayer decided it wants to open up all of my f*****g mp3's instead of Winamp which is annoying as hell.

This may be the n00b way to do it, but....

In Explorer (or, I guess, My Computer), right click on the drive in question (mine is DSmile...then choose Properties...there is a tab for auto play there....

Finigan:

open up a 'My Computer' window and click on View-->Folder options

Click on the File Types tab and you can set the default programs for different file types.
