Wont associate with Audio Cd's

[aeroman10]

I am running a pentium III 500 mhz, 384 mb ram, Win Me
The problem is: I keep on associating WinAmp to play audio cd's but everytime I restart the computer the windows media player takes over again. I go back to preferences and re-associate winamp with cd audio again and the next time i boot up the pc windows media is once again the default. I really want winamp to keep its association with audio cd's. How can i do that? What is wrong?

The winamp.ini is not set to read only.
Also, I checked and Windows Media is not set to be associated with audio cd's but winamp wont play them either even though i checked the button. I mean, it will play them at first but not after your restart the pc.
