On the desktop, this will happen as iTunes has taken over your file associations and so therefore you got no option but to download. So open Windows Media Player, open the options dialogue box from the tools menu, switch to the formats page I believe, click select all, then click ok. Hope this helps.

I can't think of a less clumsy subjectline unfortunately. But when I hit the enter key on a podcast link on blindcooltech.com or on the BBC site using my laptop, the Windowsmedia player opens and streams the podcast. But when I do the same thing on my desktop PC, the file doesn't start playing until it hasdownloaded to a temp directory and iTunes opens up and plays it. What do I need to do on my desktop PC in order that a file will start playingimmediately instead of downloading it first? I don't mind which player it'splayed in either...cheers__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signaturedatabase 4235 (20090711) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
