Hi,
I've created a web site using Pub 2000 cause it's very easy, and i
inserted a sound clip .mp3 and a .wav in the home page. When i preview
the site and click on a clip sond, my browser Firefox starts Quick
Time Player and the music doesn't starts yet!
How may I indicate to the clip to open  Windows Media Player instead?
Thanks.

Set your file associations for that.

(This is something everyone should know how to do just in case a program
takes over a file format you didn't want changed. ;-)   )

I think you understood wrong.
I'd like to indicate TO THE BROWSER which program have to use for that
type of file extension.

...instead of Quick Time Player!
Okay?
When you click on a .mp3 link your browser opens an application, p.e.
WinAmp or Xmms. Then I'd like to do that.
Do I have to modify something on the web page?
Thank you very much.

I would have thought that my file associations control that but I could be
wrong. Especially if a program is designated and it's not on a system - then
what? For example, I refuse to put Quick Time or Real Player on my
computers.

You can't dictate what program I or any other viewer of your site will use
to open a file. That is a local computer option.
