Help me, oh wisened computer geniuses!!

Hi all! Basically, on attemtping to download an audio file, Windows asked me if I wanted to open the media player or something and play the file through that, rather than download it first.

To cut a long story short, whenever I attempt to download a media file, my Media Player pops up and won't let me download the file either.

I've looked through my internet settings but can't seem to correct it.
Can anyone help?

Right click, "Save Target As". b00ya. Works a treat. Or, after playing the file you can always sift through your Temp net files and retrieve it.

Thanks, Mercutio- I didn't think of that. That'll allow me to download until I sort this properly, because...

What I meant though is does anyone know how to undo the option of having the Media Player jump up every time I want to download something? It's bloody annoying!

The reason that happens is because it's a link directly to the media source file, that is the default setting, or else there's the setting to play the file in an imbedded browser player. The ways I mentioned are the only ways to get around this.

No, it didn't used to hapen. I t started happening because I accidentally clicked on a window that popped up, asking if I wanted the Media Player to always open the file at source, or something similar.

The other user accounts on my PC don't do it, either.

I thought it was OK, I reset my Media Player- that's where the problem was as opposed to the internet options.

But NO, it STILL doesn't download. If anyone can help, PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!:confused: :eek: :confused: :eek:
