Simple PC question

About once a week one of FoxyAngel's members bitches that they can't watch her movies because Real Player gives the error that the file can not be found. Yeah well they are mpegs not Real Player files so I tell them that they must use WMP. At this point they ask me how to change their default player to WMP.

On a PC how do you change the player to WMP from Real Player so that it will play mpegs in their browser?

I would play around with one of our PeeCees but all four of the ones that we own will no longer boot and we are all too lazy to mess with them anymore.

That's a reason why I don't install that "#¤%& Real Player. It takes over and changes half your computer.

Start WMP.
Tools -> "File Types" tab -> Check "Movie file (mpeg)" -> Apply.
