Default Autoplay DVD with WMP

I do not have Windows Media Player as a choice in the dropdown.
Start Default Prograns Chage Autoplay Settings DVD Movie
gives me four choices; a Blue box with no description, Open Folder to view
files using Windows Explorer, Take No Action and Ask Me Every Time
How do I get WMP to be the default for DVD movies?
Thanks

Will WMP play a DVD on your system?

If_yes_maybe the following articles will help.

Thanks for the reply John,
I did not have WMP checked to "Enable Access to WMP"
He
Control Panel Default Programs Set Program Access and Computer Defaults
Custom Enable Access to WMP

Once I did this I was prompted for a media player choice upon loading a DVD
Thanks
