Associate Exta Media Types with Windows Media Player.

Below is the contents of WMP_AssociateFiletypes.reg and WMP_AssociateFiletypes.cmd, they both do the same job. The advantage to using RegTweaks is if applied early in setup it will apply to all windows user accounts.

WMAfile designates an extension as "Windows Media Audio File"

ASFFile designates an extension as "Windows Media Audio/Video File"
