I recently started playing DVDs on my WinXP laptop. Each time I put a

Media Player, I close the PowerDVD window, open VLC Media Player, and
click on the DVD drive. I'm sure there's a way to set VLC as the
default DVD player. I'd be grateful for instructions on how to do
this or even for a link to a website that explains it.

Thank you!

I am not 100% positive this will work, but it is worth a shot. There is a
program called "USB Safely Remove". And one of the things it can do is to
run a program when it detects a given device. "USB Safely Remove" is handy
for much more than this too, so it is worth looking into even if you can't
get this to work for this purpose.

Thank you, Bill! I had already bookmarked USB Safely Remove (I think from
one of your earlier posts). I'll definitely check it out for this
issue--although I wonder how it reacts if the media in the DVD player is
simply a data CD/DVD.
