Sometimes you can't control it. It depends upon how it is linked to the web
page. If it is streamed from a server you cannot choose how to open it.
Try right clicking on the link/picture with your mouse. If a menu pops up
try Save Target As and see if it will let you download it. Then you can
open in Windows Media Player, RealPlayer or whatever is appropriate.
