When I insert a cd of mp3's into my cd player, Real Player tries to
open it even though I do not have anything other than RP files
selected as a file that Real Player should try to open.

Okay, so I go to the cd in question, right click and choose
properties, hoping to be able to tell Windows to always open this type
of file with my player of choice, Quintessential.

But Windows ONLY gives the following choices for what I would like
Windows to do with this type of file:
Real Player
WMP
Open the folder
Take no action

How can I get Quintessential Player (or others) into that list of
choices? or otherwise make it open a cd filled with mp3's with that
player?

I do have Quintessential's options set as as the default player for
that type of file (Mp3) but still Real Player tries to open and play
the cd.

Thanks for your help.
