What entries do you have in
Start > Run > Regedit {Press Enter }
Hkey_Classes_root\MP3
HKey_classes_root\mp3_file


?

Probably some media player has installed some extention which is creating the problem .

I think it's a extension or codec problem. Uninstall any recenty installed audio converter like mp3 to wav converter or any such thing and try opening the file.

This happens as u have view as webpage enabled in your Windows Explorer.
In Windows Explorer
Goto Tools > Folder Options
under General Check Use Windows Classic Folders

This will surely fix the problem
