Question Solved: Windows Media Center Not an Option in Autoplay
I would like to set Windows Media Center as the default player for DVD movies when I watch them on my HP laptop, which has Windows 7. I have tried to set this program as the default, but when I go to Control Panel, Hardware and Sounds, Auto Play, and then look at the options for DVD Movie, Windows Media Center is not listed as one of the options. The options I have are Windows Media Player and HP DVD Play. The other options are "Open Folder to View Files Using Windows Explorer", "Take no Action", and "Ask me Every Time".

If could give me any guidance on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

You are correct. It is an interesting site. However I could not find a way to download the .reg file to fix my problem. What am I missing?
