arre that will only set winamp as the default player and not change the default action ...

il explain in more detail:

right click on a mp3 file and u get:

play in winamp (highlighted as it is the default action)
enque in winamp (i want to set this as the default action)

Open Winamp, goto "Options -> Preferences".
Goto "General Preferences -> Filetypes".
Now enable the option "Enqueue the files on double-click in windows explorer". ;)
