Executing Windows Media Player from Firefox?

Question

I am looking to create, more or less, an advanced video play list in Firefox with direct links to video files located on my hard drive. I want the clicked link to open windows media player as if I double clicked the file and NOT to open within Firefox.

If this is not possible, does anyone know of a program where I could create an HTML shell which will execute windows media player?

I want it to look like this:

And then after creating a link to the video file on my hard drive to open EXTERNALLY via windows media player. The whole purpose is to have the description and title look "pretty"

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure you can probably just use simple code to launch windows media player via whatever browser the person is using.
