wmv files

How do I change the settings to allow live mail to open wmv files?

running HP windows 7

Start - Default Programs - two things, "Set your default programs", and,
"Associate a file type or protocol with a program".

Media Player or similar wmv compatible program opens wmv files.

In the Hotmail web UI accessed via IE, a wmv file provides the option to open or save. Clicking 'Open' will call Media Player as
long as it has been configured to open wmv files in Windows 7
- 'Default Programs/Set Default Programs/Media Player/Choose defaults for this program'

Windows Live Mail, likewise, calls the default program. You may receive a prompt asking if you wish to open the wmv file.
