How can I make .mp*g files open using the Windows Media Player Plugin as opposed to the QuickTime Plugin as used by .wmv files?

Both are installed.

I've tried Tools | Options | Applications, but WMP Plugin is not available as an option against .mp*g files and I can't find the plugin in to browse to it to make the change.

Never used this forum before, just testing to see if I get email notification of replies.

I tried that before posting, but WMP Plugin is not listed as an alternative option for .mp*g files, and when I try 'Use other' WMP Plugin is not listed.

WMP is listed but my undestanding is that this would cause the file to launch and play in WMP, whereas I want it to play in FireFox in the WMP Plugin.

So where do I 'Browse' to to make the change?
