Autoplay doesn't work correctly

    When I insert a DVD movie in  the player it automatically
selects Media Center to play, REGARDLESS of the setting in the
Menu "Windows can perform the same function, ETC:"  Which wouldn't be
that bad if MC would play but it doesn't.

I can check the box "always do the selected action" and select some
other player beside MC but MC always comes up. When I cancel MC and
use the menu to open the DVD using Play, usually Real Player will
start but not always

I would like the option of having a choice.  I have 3 other players.
How do I get one of these to be the Autoplay?

Thanks,

Download => TweakUI
Under My Computer => AutoPlay => Drives, add a check mark to drives you want
to auto-start.

    I downloaded TweakUI alright, but I can't find Autoplay=Drives
under My Computer. Can you elaborate?
