1) You really don't want to do this. WMP11 64-bit can't use 32-bit
codecs, and 64-bit codecs still need a bit of maturing.

2) If you're dying to have 64-bit WMP11 as your default you can google
"x64 components" as this is a freeware collection of known working 64-
bit codecs, and has a tool to set the default player.

(oh and for the other person, you can't set the 64-bit WMP11 to
default player through Default Programs, same goes for IE 64-bit)
 
That's not supported, but:

If you want to use the 64bit version of WMP as the default player on Vista
64-bit, run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64" from an ELEVATED (admin) cmd.exe
prompt and then set registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\wmplayer.exe, "Path" to
be "%Programfiles%\Windows Media Player". To undo that, reset the "Path"
value and then run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:32" from an elevated cmd.exe
prompt.
