How to defeat Windows Media Player?

WMP seems to have taken over my computer. It is now the default player that starts up whenever I play an mp3 or video file.
How can I change this WITHIN WMP itself? I have always used Winamp, and am very happy with it, and would like to keep using it. I set my preferences in Winamp for it to become the default player, but that doesn't seem to have worked.

Any solutions?

Bizarrely, it's under Control Panels > Add or Remove Programs > Set Program Access and Defaults > Custom > Choose Default Media Player.
