You cannot really designate a program because it depends on the file type. For example, if the attachment is a Word document, Word will open it. If an Excel document, Excel will open it. A text file, it will likely be opened by Notepad.

Well, you can tell Windows to use a specific program to open up your video attachments, as long as you know what file type they are. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859
