Default Media Player for wav in browers
I wasn't sure which section to post this but since it has to do with browers I'm posting it here.
I primarily use I.E.9 but the same thing happens with Firefox and Chrome.
When I click on a wav file on a web site to play the wav file, Quicktime comes up and plays the wav file, even though Windows Media Player is set as the default for wav files. If I disable the Quicktime add on in I.E. I can't play the wav files and I get a message about Quicktime add on needs activated. If I click on an MP3 file Windows Media Player plays the file. I would like WMP to play wav files too, I only have Quicktime because I have iTunes (for an iPod) and a couple of other programs (such as Discus) require it. For years I refused to install Quicktime as it was on my "ill behaving" programs list because of issues such as this.
I suspect it has something to do with MIME but I have no idea how to change that.
If I uninstall Quicktime then WMP plays the wav files, but as noted I need QT because of the installed applications that require it.
