And Media Player Classic is not made by Microsoft. Its an open source
(free) program made to look like the old Windows Media Player 6.4, but is
smaller and has more features. If you have installed either Quicktime
Alternative or Real Alternative, then they install and use Media Player
Classic.
I believe this is the Media Player Classic developers site where you can
download the latest version.

Lil,
Unchecking them within Media Player isn't enough to tell Windows what it
should use instead. Open up WinAmp and use it to take over the file
associations. Once open, go to Options > Preferences and then click on File
Types to get to the correct area of the settings. The changes are set in
the registry the moment you close the Options window.
If it still doesn't work, we can set up a remote connection and I'll see
if I can determine what's getting in the way.
Peace,
Gman
