If you decide to choose the x64 version of Windows Media Player as your default player,
Windows Explorer will automatically differentiate between the 2 media players as depicted below.

The Settings Application is 100% UAC compliant.
Restricted access is enforced. (User Account Control)
The Application allows each user to maintain individual codec settings while at the same time seamlessly integrating any administrative commands directly into the users account. New users accounts are detected upon opening the Application and automatically inherit the Administrators settings.

Adding files to the Windows Media Player Playlist

On the Help TAB of the Settings Application is a button to allow you to choose Windows Media Player
Filetype Associations. This buttons functionality is GLOBAL and is not restricted to the 32bit environment. Once you have used this button, you can Enqueue newly associated filetypes to the Windows Media Player Playlist as depicted below. It also sets up Media Center to utilize the associations for seamless playback in that player also. If for some reason this doesn't work for you, go back to the associations button, click No twice, consecutively, then select Yes. No reboot is required.

This will also work for audio files such as FLAC, APE or musepack.

To enhance the user experience, stable versions of Media Player Classic Black Edition (MPC-BE) player have been added to the x64ComponentsPM installation along with the madVR video renderer providing users with 'out of the box' 4k (UHD) HDR playback and also 3D MVC playback. Of course, you'll need to own the hardware to enjoy this cutting edge support.
