Making WinDVD the Default Program for Viewing DVD's

Can someone help me to make WinDVD 8 the default program that will open and
run when I insert DVD's into my PC?

Open My Computer
Rt Click on the DVD Drive-->Choose Properties
Click the AutoPlay Tab
Use the drop down to select files and the Actions pane to assign the
programs.
Click OK

There is also a nice free PowerToy tool made by Microsoft called TweakUI.

Among many other things it allows greater control over external autoplay
then the above process does.
