Cannot make Media Center my default DVD player...

[Florio]

When I try to play a DVD on my laptop, the default player is WMP, but I'd like to make DVDs run with Media Center. Is this possibile? I have already gone into Start-Default Programs-Choose a Default Media Player and chosen Media Center. but this seems to have had no effect. If I try Start-Default Programs-Change Autoplay Settings, I find that Windows Media Centre is not even included amongst the possible dvd players.
Is there a way to get around this? Thanks to all whoever can be bothered replying.

try adding wmc to autoplay...

once added you should be able to select wmc as default in autoplay settings.
then when inserting a dvd it will open in wmc automatically
