Right context menu in vista

Hi,
I had XP on my PC in the past. When I right click on a music file I used to have an option for real player saying "Add to real player now playing list". Now I have installed Vista 64bit and reinstalled real player. Now when I right click on any media file it shows " add to windows media player now playing list".
I would like to have real player in the right context menu. I have removed windows media player and still the real player option does not come up there. It is set as universal player. I really feel that something has to be tweaked in the registry or some where in the OS. If someone can help me in how to modify the right context menu to add real player I would be very thankful.

did you go to the control panel and click on the auto play option and see if it's in the list of players to start music from?

It's just not for disc in the auto play list there should be an audio file option under software and games section.
