problem opening a small recording on a site

I was at a web site and clicked on a link to try and open
a small recording, when it was done downloading I was
asked which program to use to open it and I picked media
player and it doesnt work but now everytime I try and open
it, it uses media player to open it (which wont work) and
I cant change it.

Please help.

Instead of double-clicking the file to play it, open the application that
knows how to play this file and use the File / Open menu option to play the
file.

Left click once on the file to hilite it, then hold down the Shift key =
and right click on it to get the popup menu, select "Open With" from the =
list, select the program you want to open it with, put a check in =
"Always open.......", apply/ok out. It may be a good idea to leave =
"Always open......." unchecked until you are sure that you have the =
correct program you want to use.=20
I find it a good idea to leave "Always open......." unchecked until you =
are sure that you have the correct program you want to use. Once you are =
sure of the program to use, then check it.
