I want all my mp3s, wavs, and wma's and the like to open
in Winamp. At the moment, some open in Winamp, others in
Media Player, and others in MusicMatch. How do I change
it so they all open in Winamp?

Control Panel>Folder Options>File Types...scroll down until you find the
file type you want and highlight it. Click change and choose the program
from the list, then click "Always use this...."

Most programs would love it if you associated as many file types with it
that you can. Often, if you do a "standard" and not a "custom" install,
they tend to associate too many filetypes than you wish with their
program. However, you should be able to do what you want easily just by
finding the right place within the app. Try clicking on tabs likely
named Options, Properties, Configuration, or Tools, and/or similiar and
look for "file associations" or "extensions" or similiar lingo.
