I found the solution after going through the first 24 pages. Thanks to Moby-UK's <defaultdvdplayer> inclusion.
Now if only I can get MPC working

I wanted to first thank you guys for making this external player happen. I have a underpowered PC so this is the only way to make video work(hardware acceleration). I am stuck on one issue and hope some one can help
I installed Rev18565 (tried the latest version too). I put in the advancedsettings.xml into the C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\xbmc\userdata. The file details are as below
<advancedsettings>
<video>
<defaultplayer>externalplayer</defaultplayer>
</video>
<externalplayer>
<filename>C:\Program Files\windows media player\wmplayer.exe</filename>
<args></args>
<forceontop>false</forceontop>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>false</hidecursor>
</externalplayer>
</advancedsettings>
The PROBLEM is that it plays mpegs with WM player but when I try to play ripped dvds (vobs) it uses the internal dvdplayer. I looked at xbmc.log it has the following
default dvd player: dvdplayer
default video player: externalplayer.
Is there a way to make dvds and ripped dvds use the external player? Thanks for your help. BTW the ripped DVDs play fine when I try to play them on WM player outside the XBMC confines.
