You don't need to set WMP as default player for each media type manually by hand.
You can do it in one go by opening WMP and navigating to its options:
Tools > Options > Filetypes tab > Select All > Apply
PS: if some are ticked but the files of that type don't seem to open with WMP, then first unselect everything and click 'apply', then select everything again and click 'apply' again.
