At the bottom of the window where you choose WMP or PowerDVD, there is a
checkbox "Always use this program..."

Check that box and every time you double click it should run with that
program.

For the most part there is no reason you can't use either of those programs
to view your media file, depending on which interface you prefer.

I use zoomplayer as it allows me to configure keys to jump ahead by 5, 10,
120 seconds without coming out of full screen mode, and allows me to set
sensible volume controls, instead of WMP's default, unchangeable ones, and
change the aspect ratio if need be.

Standard player is free IIRC. I'm sure there are other free players that are
configurable and frendlier than WMP.
