I downloaded ITunes and it became my default media player.

I would prefer to have Windows Media Player as my default.

How do I make this change?

It didn't seem to work.

What happens is that I'm trying to download an audio lecture. It starts the lecture in quicktime (which I don't like) and I can't even find the document once it is (apparently) saved.

try here

Start

Program access and defaults

Expand "Custom" and set it from there.
OR you can also get there from the control panel Add/Remove programs

open windows media player. Make sure you maximize the window. click on tools on top of window. click options. click file types tab.click select all or choose each file type you want WMP to open. click apply then click ok.
If all else fails reinstall WMP and opt for it to be default player.

Good luck
