How do I???

Find out what my default audio file player is? What do I go to on my Windows XP laptop to find this out? Like if I go to dogpile.com and I open one of the files, sometimes it opens with Windows media player and other times it opens with iTunes... Where can I see what the default media player is and how can I change it to what I want if it's not what I want? Thank you. :D

    On an XP system, you should be able to open the START menu and then click on SET PROGRAM ACCESS AND DEFAULTS. From there, you can choose to edit your default applications. It will tell you what programs you have available to choose from and then you can choose which one you want as the default. You can even restrict access to the ones that you don't want to use.
