I think perhaps I made this harder than it should be. If you type set default into the start menu search box the first result you should see is set default programs. Press enter and tab once to see a list of your programs. Arrow down to winamp and tab to the choose defaults button and press enter. Then you can tab until you see a list of file types. Arrow down until you find the CD and check the box. Then tab to the save button.
I hope this clarifies things a little. My apologies for the previously convoluted post.

Dan and list: I'm getting screwed up somehow; I'm doing what I think you told me to do, but get entirely different results! I can get to the first part "set defaults"...but then you are telling me to press "enter"...but what I get is just a thing that says "link!! So I must be doing it wrong or am losing something in the translation!

In the start menu search box type set default. The first entry should be "set your default programs". Press enter. Then press enter on default programs. Tab until you hear "click to open default programs". Tab until you hear "set your default programs" and press enter. Tab once and you should have a list of all your installed programs. Arrow down until you find winamp. Tab until you hear "choose defaults for this program" and press enter. . Tab until you have a list of file types. Arrow down until you find CD and check the box. Tab to the save button and press enter or space.

Hello list: I've just received a CD that I want to play; normally, Winamp goes ahead and plays it; at least it used to be that Windows would ask me what I wanted to do! But now, Express rip insists on coming up.and there seems to be _no way_ to stop it! When it comes up, I can't just close it out and go on; it insists on me telling it whether I want to certify that this is an unsilenced CD.or whatever! Am running Windows 7-64 bit; running Jaws 15. Any help or information will be much appreciated! Thanks, Tom Kaufman
