Winamp with windows XP professional

[Mighty]

I am using windows MP professional
My problem is when I insert a audio cd
I have a player syberlink powerdvd that plays audo disks also.
My windows program is installed in disk C
Now I installed winamp v5.13 in disc D
When I insert a disc it began to play with the syberlink poweredvd program.
I changed it and now I get a screen that windows gives me a choice to prefer programs such as cyberlink dvd, mediaplayer, to go to the music folder or not to take any action.
As I think, the winamp program should be de default program as I installed it the last, and I can not see it in the prefered programs.
If I double click a winamp file the winamp plays it, but the problem is when I insert a audio cd.

mabe I must install the winamp in the same directory as windows?
Please Help me
thanks

Is "Launch Winamp for Audio CDs" checkmarked in Winamp > Prefs > File Types?

If the problem persists, you can use the registry fix from here:

The registry fix should've fixed that (did you use it?)

As far as I know, those same registry keys are also auto created if you checkmark "Associate with Audio CDs" on Screen 5 of the Installer Options

At the desktop I can see the icon but in the square that windows opens there are players that I can chose to use.
For example there is windows media player and I can see the icon, there is written play with winamp but there is no icon, so I would like to see the icon inthere

I guess that's because you didn't install Winamp to the default location of
C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe

You'll need to manually edit the autoplay.reg file in Notepad
and change this line to point to where winamp.exe is located

"DefaultIcon"="%ProgramFiles%\\Winamp\\winamp.exe,0"

eg. if Winamp is installed at C:\Winamp then change it to

"DefaultIcon"="C:\\Winamp\\winamp.exe,0"

or if it was installed to D:\Programme\Winamp then change it to

"DefaultIcon"="D:\\Programme\\Winamp\\winamp.exe,0"

etc

Save the edited .reg file then run it again.

Or if you're comfortable with manually editing the registry, you can edit this string value accordingly:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\Handlers\WinampPlayMediaOnArrival

String:
"DefaultIcon"=

I did as you told me and it did not help so I decided to unistall the winamp and install in the default driver and the default folder, and it became ok
I whant to thank you for your kindness and pacience
I am very glad to be a part of such forum
