Angry Download Problems

I am currently running Windows Xp home Edition.

Whenever I try to download a Movie or clip it defaults to Windows Media Player. I have tried to change the default in the control panel. My logon is marked as Administrator but it won't let me change the default.

This is a new laptop with XP runni ng on it, I never had this problem with my old Desktop running Xp

Any help would be appreciated
