This thread has gone on for years, it seems...lol. But I just decided I wanted to know about this. I took Bobstur's suggestion and hacked the registry, and it worked just fine. Note that you have to delete the keys (the entire thing, not just the text that says the file name). ALWAYS BACKUP WHATEVER YOU'RE CHANGING! And don't delete the Default key, I don't know what'll happen if you do. But I do know what will happen if you try deleting the information by using "Modify Binary"--it'll crash Media Player. LOL. That's why I made a backup first.
