Vista - movie links will not open in internet explorer 7

for some reason internet explorer 7 will not open media player or quick time
or any movie player when a link is clicked at a website other than ones that
rely on adobe flashplayer. what setting is there that's preventing it from
working or will make it work? thanks in advance for help.

Go to Control Panel, Go into Default Programs and set your media player
defaults there - not through the actual programs themselves.. i.e.:
quicktime and windows media player. It shouldn't be this way, but in
Vista, it IS that way. A pain, I know, but it works... maybe sp1 will
solve the issue. If you don't know how to do this, please reply, and I
will provide more detailed instructions.
