rakesh, this is how to do it with Windows 98, I expect that XP is similar.

To change which program starts when you open a file

In My Computer or Windows Explorer, on the View menu, click Folder Options.
Click the File Types tab.
In the list of file types, click the one you want to change.
Click Edit.
In Actions, click Open.
Click Edit.
In Application used to perform action, enter the program you want to use to open files that have this extension, and then click OK.

....gaming_guy beat me to it!

right click on the video file, and look for " open with " click windows media player and tick the box " open all files of this type in this program " or something along the same lines and there you go
