WinXP Media Center 2002 (SP2)
It's seen in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types, that
WAV files are supposed to open with Windows Media Player (WMP). However,
when I click on a soundclip link at
http://www.ilovewavs.com/Effects/Birds/Birds.htm the resulting web page
commences playing the (presumably WAV) file via QuickTime instead of WMP.
Moreover, my right-clicking on the playing sound file page does not show a
menu having a choice for saving that particular file. How do I get web pages
to utilize WMP instead of QuickTime for playing WAV files? Once that is
accomplished, will it be possible for me to save those files (found on the
web) to my computer's HDD by right-clicking?
 
One way is to open Windows Media Player ( recent versions ), Click
Tools, Options, File Types ( TAB ). You should see .WAV in the list
just tic/check the option to use Media Player to handle them.
 
OK, I just looked there too, and Windows Audio File (wav) is listed and is
already checked. This is perplexing.
