Create a file using Notepad, and save it with the extension you want to add.
Create a file using Notepad, and save it with the extension you want to add. Double-click the file and in the Open With dialog, choose the application from the list. Place a checkmark near "Always open...." and click OK.

Your response ultimately led me to stumble in the right direction with
success. Thank you for that. For the record, however, I got confused (it happens alot) trying to open the Notepad-created file, because it showed two choices, one with a Notepad name and one with something else -- I don't remember the details. I wasn't comfortable with the choice, so I ended up deleting the Notepad-created file, and opened an existing legitimate .wmv file. I don't remember seeing an "always open" checkbox, but I must have done something right, because now my .wmv files do invoke the Windows Media Player. Thanks again.
