Can I remove the PowerDVD option from WMC when opening a DVD

I have my PC set up to autoplay DVD's in WMC.
When WMC opens, I'm faced with the option to play the DVD with WMC or PowerDVD.
Is there a way to remove the PowerDVD option so WMC just plays the DVD?
Thanks

Found the answer to my own question...
While this applies to TMT, I got it to work with PowerDVD.

First, find and delete the following registry branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\AutoPlayHandlers\Handlers\ArcSoftTotalMediaTheatre

Then find and delete the ArcSoftTotalMediaTheatre key in the following branch:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\AutoPlayHandlers\EventHandlers\PlayDVDMovieOnArrival

After making these changes, Media Center will no longer prompt you to select a player for DVDs—it will just play them the way it always did.
