Prompt to download

[Guest]

Currently, when my url points to a file that ends in ".wav", media player
pops up and starts palying it as a sound file. How do I changes the setting
for a WAV file so it prompts me to play it or download it at my discretion?

Try this:

You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.

Thank you! I'm not sure why Internet Explorer settings have to be changed in
Windows Explorer, but what works, works!

Thanks again,
