" Again, it depends if they've made it that simple - don't know."
Probably they have no idea of this, but is very little what can be done with Windows.
Windows by itself doesn't know what is a CD, it only has vxd services for accessing the data, but what is the data Windows doesn't know. Windows needs the Windows explorer and Media Player for identifying the data and to know what to do with it.
If you change the registry or remove the Media Player the behaviour of Windows will be different. You don't need the Media Player, you only need the audio and video codecs installed and any player will be able to play.
