Tip: swap from x32 to x64 WMP

If you've got a x64 machine and you're running x64 Vista, here's a tip
to convert your WMP into a x64 app:

If you want to use the 64bit version of WMP as the default player on
Vista 64-bit, run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64" from an ELEVATED (admin)
cmd.exe prompt and then set registry value
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App
Paths\wmplayer.exe, "Path" to be "%Programfiles%\Windows Media Player".

To undo the above, reset the "Path" value and then run "unregmp2.exe
/SwapTo:32" from an elevated cmd.exe prompt.

Confirm the change through the processes tab of task manager.
