WinDVD 9 takes over as external video/DVD player (1 Viewer)

[Savage1701]

Anyone else having an issue where WinDVD 9 takes over as the exclusive external video and DVD player even though WinDVD 8 or Cyberlink PowerDVD is pathed and selected in the MP config utility? Can anything be done? Thanks.

Is this about the autoplay function? Because if it is, you can disable autoplay in My computer > Tools > Folder Options > "File Types" tab. Here remove in the advanced section from one of the first entries (i.e. InterVideo WinDVD) the play option.
(dont do this with item called 'DRIVE'! This causes Explorer not to run on clicking one of your harddrives... Very anoying!)
