The solution is exactly what the message recomends you do?!
open up explorer and go into tools>folder options>file types and associate that type of file with an application.
I would recommend however for security reasons you don't run ANYTHING from within Outlook Express just save it, scan for viruses then use whatever application you normally use for playing/viewing those types of files.
