You could always do some messing around in the registry. Or does WinXp not have a registry? Anyway, first restart and back up the registry, then search for the filename of the media player exe, and whenever you find it in a group of folders (very important!) that seem to have to do something with Ie, change that to your favorite player. Make sure you search the entire registry, as there always seems to redundant entries. Run Ie, and try to make it do what you want. If it works, Tada. However, if it fudges up, restore your saved copy of the registry. Oh, and don't do *anything* else, ie, run other programs, seach for virus's, check up web sites, open up solitary, etc, etc. Otherwise you could get your computer really really screwed up.

There are some other tricks you can do too, like, changing if you want it to auto-run certian kinds of file at all, and some other stuff, but I won't get into that now, as most of that stuff is tricky, and changes slightly on a case to case basis.
