Everytime I click on some mp3 file, open with windows popup. Is there
a way I can disable this thing?

Thanks in advance.
 
Open Control Panel - Add or Remove Programs - Set Program Access and Defaults. Click "Custom", and under "Choose a default media player", select your media player and click OK. This should associate mp3 file type with your media player.

No good, open with dialog needs to be disable at a registry level.

That's nonsense. Start > Run: wmplayer.exe > Tools > Options > File
Types > MP3 > tick.

When I am browsing my multimedia folder, and I click on a mp3 format
or even xvid rather then opening mp3 player, I get a dialog "Open
with".

I want to disable it, so it will open mplayer (base multi format
player). I don't want to see the popup.

It needs to be disable at a registary level. Just like office popups...

Why do you want to disable it at the registry level when the GUI options are available?

No idea why you focus on the registry level. Anyway, goto
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 or create that key if not present. Set the
default value (right pane) to "MyMP3". Next, create the key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MyMP3\shell\open\command
Set the default value equal to "<path\filename>" %L (with quotes)
and replace <path\filename> with your preferred MP3 player. Good luck.
