Windows Media Player 11 in Vista the default player

Hi,
How do I make Windows Media Player 11 in Vista the default player?
Every time I want to click on a video file Windows Movie Maker starts.

Right click on the video file....select "Open with..." check the check box that says "always use this program to open these file types"

That's all you need to do.
