The best thing to do is to associate your media files with another player. You can do this by clicking on a media file in Windows Explorer, right-click the file, choose Open With.
You should now have a window that lists all the installed applications on your PC, so you can choose the player you want to use, also tick the box to open all files of that type with that player.
You can do this with any files.. i.e. I have all jpgs open in my browser, it saves launching an application
