Changing Default CD Player -

I have installed RealOne Player which is a good program except that it now opens up everytime I insert an Audio CD which I don't want. I've changed all the options in the Preferences to tell it not to open but it still does. I think its because it is still set as the player for CDs, but I can't find on Windows 98 where to change this back to the Windows CD Player.
Is this a change in the registry or somewhere else?
