That's not coming from WMP.

What's the exact text of the prompt you see? That will help me guess as to
where it's coming from.

WMP's Tools:Options:File Types dialog is superior to most other options
here, FWIW.

Thanks for the reply. It's the explorer file association box, I verified file
associations within WMP as you suggested before:
"Choose the program you want to use to open this file" It lists WMP and
iTunes as recommended programs, I've checked off "Always use the selected
program to open this kind of file" but it never remembers. WMP wil only open
these file types w/o a prompt if they're listed in the library and will
always prompt for others??

"Choose the program you want to open this file" does different things than
WMP's Tools:Options:File Types, which is why I suggested you use the File
Types dialog. Are the applicable file types checked in WMP's dialog?

Yes, WMP is default for all file types:

Hm. Well, that prompt is not coming from WMP, and if WMP's dialogs are
checked, then we think the associations make sense in our world. Since I
don't know what that "open with" prompt is evaluating, it's hard to say
what's tripping this up. It would probably be some registry setting, which
could in theory be tracked down with either registry tracking software or
astute following of what's going on in the registry... =\
