Sounds like Nero has control of the file extensions, try openning WMP going to TOOLS > OPTIONS > File Types > check the extensions you want WMP to open.

If you notice WMP's handling of files is not based on extensions but groups of file types. For example, for MP3 files it actually deals not just with .mp3 but a number of file types like .mp3, .m3u etc. (This is a grouping of file extensions for the particular filetype) A greyed checked box means that some of those extensions are assigned to WMP & some to another app. Checking them assigns ALL of them to the WMP.
