WOW!
This sounds like the answer to my problem illustrated >>HERE<<

If so, is there a step by step available to associate WMV files I encounter with the web browser so that MPlayer opens instead of media player?

I'm sure it is in this thread somehow however, I'm slow like that...

Perhaps a summary then?

Where to find the file to edit.

How to access it and edit it.

What specific line should be edited with what specific new info.

Thanks for your time, output, and eventual patience.
