I accidentally made Windows Media player as my default program to open .DAT files on my XP comp. How do I reverse this?

Find the one with extention .DAT and delete it.
Dat is now no longer registered to open with anything :)
(easily reversable by double clicking file and chosing again what you want it to open with)

Cheers
