Plugin Keeps Changing?

I have a personal website with some songs for my friends to listen to. It had
always worked. I figured out that I needed to download the WMP Series 9 Player
to use WMP for my plugins. And when I changed all the songs on my website.
All the plugins started changing to Quicktime, and it was opening Quicktime in
a browser. I don't really like the way it does that. I tried to change
everything back again. And it worked fine for a little bit, but when I visited
my website later, it started changing again. If anyone knows how to set some
preferences so that it only uses WMP, please post back. Thanks. My website is
www.alexmsite.tk if you want to see what I mean.

I already posted trying to help you with this. Can you post a link to a URL
so I can see what you're actually trying to do? As I said, if your files are
MP3s, then you can't control what player I view them in. And it doesn't
matter.

Can someone help me with this. I just want all my plugins to be WMP instead of Quicktime. And my links to open music are Quicktime. I would like them to be WMP

Since no one else replies:
It's in the browser's preferences and nothing you can do anything about
with DW.
If it's IE, you can set the preferred plug-in in the preferences (I
think "file handler")

Sorry, I accidentally posted twice, and someone deleted one, so you must have
posted in that one. The website is www.alexmsite.tk and at the bottom I have
a player for music, and its got white space around it because it used to be
WMP, but it randomly changed to Quicktime, and on the music page, it plays it
in IE with Quicktime, when it used to open WMP and play the song. Thanks for
the help

Okay, here's the deal: You've embedded the song on the page, and since it's
an MP3 the player that will show up in a viewer's browser is *the one they
have assigned to play MP3 files.* When I look at the page I see a small
RealPlayer console because that's the program I have assigned to play those
files. If you absolutely want people to see it using WMP, then you have to
embed the player in there, which is a pain. If you're interested, use Google
to search for "embed Windows Media Player" or check this out:

I wouldn't worry about it. Who cares which program plays it as long as it
plays it?

While we're talking about your site, if you're going to be rude and call
people gay because they right click on your page (which by the way didn't
stop me from seeing the code and downloading your page) the least you can do
is use proper English. The phrase is "You're gay."
