windows media player driving me crazy!

I really can't stand windows media player for
playing .mp3 songs, so a when I bought a new computer
with Windows XP Pro and switched my music over I
downloaded Winamp, but my computer has issues recognizing
winamp as the default player and won't change the icon to
the winamp icon. I had my old computer set up perfectly
so that when I clicked on a song or a folder Winamp
opened up and played my music, however when I click on
the song to play it, winamp might open up (after a
while), but it won't play anything. I've made winamp the
default media player for .mp3 but it just doesn't
recognize it. I don't want to delete windows media
player, but I've tried, and I don't know how to - it's so
integrated into the computer I can't get rid of it
(remind anyone of why Microsoft got sued about Internet
Exporer?). Does anyone know of a way to fix this so that
I can play my music the way I want it to?

Open WMP can go to Tools/Options/File Types. Unselect All.
You can "Set Program Access and Defaults" to "hide" WMP.
