Hello Webtechie, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If it is a file extension that Windows Media Player (WMP) supports, you should be able to just double click on the file to have it open and play on WMP automatically.

If not, then you can click on Files (menu bar), Open, and browse to the file to open and play it. If you do not have the menu bar in WMP, then right click on a empty space on the toolbar and click on "Show Menu bar".

You might also check to make sure that Windows Media Player is set as the default program with all of it's association set to it as well.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you.

I did a right click and saw "show classic menus". Then I was able to do file and then open.
