Setting default media player for Front Page

[Lynn]

When I am in the preview mode of Front Page 2000 and I
want to play the video (mpeg)the player that comes up is
Quick Time and I want it to be Windows Media Player.
What can I do? thanks.

If you are just clicking on a link for the mpeg the player it opens in is determined by your file settings on your computer. You can imbed a Windows Media Player on a web page to play the video in an html file however. Something like this. It may not be 100% correct so you may to play with it some but this is the general idea

Go to http://currentvm.com/Preview.htm and click on one of the links to see what I mean
