Real Player hijacking audio file associations

[. - .... .- -. ....]

This is a realplayer problem. It's "supposed" to let you choose which files you want to associate, and you should be able to disable them whenever you want, but in reality it's not so. Realplayer grabs everything, no matter what you do, even uninstalling it, as you just found out. I'll look for some more info - if I find some I'll post it here.
