Hi,
I've created a web site using Pub 2000 cause it's very easy, and i
inserted a sound clip .mp3 and a .wav in the home page. When i preview
the site and click on a clip sond, my browser Firefox starts Quick
Time Player and the music doesn't starts yet!
How may I indicate to the clip to open Windows Media Player instead?
Thanks.

Set your file associations for that.

(This is something everyone should know how to do just in case a program
takes over a file format you didn't want changed. ;-) )

I think you understood wrong.
I'd like to indicate TO THE BROWSER which program have to use for that
type of file extension.
[color=darkred]

....instead of Quick Time Player!
Okay?
When you click on a .mp3 link your browser opens an application, p.e.
WinAmp or Xmms. Then I'd like to do that.
Do I have to modify something on the web page?
Thank you very much.

I would have thought that my file associations control that but I could be
wrong. Especially if a program is designated and it's not on a system - then
what? For example, I refuse to put Quick Time or Real Player on my
computers.

You can't dictate what program I or any other viewer of your site will use
to open a file. That is a local computer option.
