Hello to all who have responded to my question so far: I successfully
changed the file name, but can't find a direct link that would allow me to
play the file!  It does seem to be a wma file in there somewhere...but seems
to be no way to play it!  Any thoughts or suggestions?
Tom Kaufman

While you're focused on the file in your list, press the f2 key and 
change the .wpl extention to .txt. Windos will ask you if you really 
want to do this, so press the space bar on the yes button and it'll be 
changed to a .txt file, which you can open in notepad, and find out what 
file this is about.
