Find the avi file in your temporary internet files, ( or find one somewhere
else in your machine ) right click on it, Select Open with, in the list that
displays, scroll down and find Windows Media player. Click once to select
it, check the box ""Always open files of this type" and then click OK.
Media player should then be the default player for all avi files.
