How to use WMP 10: dumb question

I use WMP 10 for my music. I'm fine with that. Nice and simple. But how do I use it to play streaming audiio or video files say, for example, froma NY Times article that has one attached, or any other for that matter. I download the attached audio/video file to my CF card. Then when I click on the file it asks me what program I want to use. I then find Windows Media and it appears in the dialog box. And that's where I get stuck. Then what?

WMP will play streaming audio and video if they are in supported formats. Depending on the site, they may give you a choice on what format you wish to see the video in (WMP, Realplayer, Quicktime). Many sites still use Realplayer for the streaming audio, and it may not show this on the site when the screen formats for the PPC. I have run into that a few times myself.
