I installed a freeware DVD player and it plays my DVDs just fine. When I
insert a DVD into the drive I get the "What do you want windows to do"
prompt, but my player is not listed. I am selecting "Take no action" and
then I manually launch my player. I don't want to disable the prompt, I
would like to add my player to the "What do you want windows to do" list. Is
this possible?

You can use the TweakUI PowerToy to add entries to the AutoPlay dialog.
