I have Win MediaPlayer set for MP3's and WinAmp set for OGG's.
I click on play and whichever file it is just opens in my default player  ::)

Hope that helps.

Rui,

Here is everything you need to know about playing back and encoding Ogg Vorbis in Windows:
http://www.vorbis.com/setup_windows/

And here is the .exe file you download to set up Windows for all the open-source audio codecs:

...the one you want is - "opencodecs_0.84.17315.exe"

Rui,

Alternatively,you can use an audio editing program called Audacity to listen to OGG files.The nice thing about this method,is that not only is Audacity a free download,you also don't have to worry about yet another media player that's fighting to be your default player. 8)

You can get the free download from www.cnet.com and I believe that www.m-audio.com also has the download.

If you want to be sure that you download the last official version of audacity, you better take it from the official site : http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
