Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove program then go to Add/Remove Windows Components. Under Accessories and Utilities click details. Under Multimedia click details. Uncheck Media player. Click ok, ok then next to uninstall that particular component.

Hi,
Also you can change file association in Explorer\View\Folder options\File Types. Find and delete AudioCD key. Then double click on a audio track and chose your preferate program for AudioCD.
