How to change what program files open with?

Downloaded files came as realplayer and I want them always to open with Media Player. If I rightclick media player is not there so I can say open with Media Player but they still show as realplayer files. Please Help. Also how do I change all the files at once? Thank you for your help.|||Right click on file/Open With/Choose Program (check off- always use the selected program to open this kind of file)


On older versions of Windows, you may have to hold down the shift key while you right click to get the Open With option.|||Very clear answer. His last two lines solved one of my big problem
