default value: wmplayer.exe "%1"
You should be able to change wmplayer.exe to the name of the player you are using.
I have not tested this for an alternative player, since I have no current need, but I have used the same technique for changing ZIP providers and other file types to new defaults.

Rob: Good idea. I was looking for this with Rescoe last night but couldn't find the location. Obviously didn't know where to look. Thanks for that.
However, didn't work. TCPMP's file is "player.exe" so replaced the default value with player.exe "%1" which should have done it. Saved, closed all files, tried restarting the phone, no luck. Still shows a Windows media icon and still says can't open the file. Even tried putting in the full path name since it is located on the storage card (shouldn't have made a difference) but no luck.
Confirmed that Player.exe was the application by running that from the file manager just to be sure. Hmmmm.
So, I'm using TCPMP.0.72RC1 with the cab installed on the storage card root then run from there. The application works normally. I confirmed that normal music .wav files can be played by both TCPMP and media player by running the app then finding a specific .wav music file and playing it from within the app.
HOWEVER, if I use file manager to go directly to a music .wav file and select it, I now (with the registry edit) get an error "Can't find [the name of the song] (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available." This tells me that something is wrong with the registry edit, but I'm not sure what.
Anyone have any thoughts?
