How do I make WMP my default video player?

Hi,
I downloaded Windows Media Player 7 recently(impressive) and watched all video and news downloads where possible on it. However, after updating Winamp as well recently, it now appears to be my default video player because any video or news clips are coming up on Vidamp which to be fair is nowhere near as good as WMP.

I obviously didn't uncheck something when I upgraded Winamp which has performed a minor coup on my system. I always use winamp to play my MP3s on and think it's the best player by far but i want to make WMP my default for actual news/video etc.. any ideas on hoe I make it the default player??

Thanks in advance.

    This is usually easy to fix. Open Media Player and choose tools. Find preferences or options. In one of these, you will find a list of files that Media Player can open. Put a check in front of video files, click apply and OK. Good viewing.
