want wmp to open automatically

[chris_j11]

is there a setting in ie7 or wmp so that when i click on either 'low' or 'high' for video link in ie7, window media player automatically opens up and play the movide
right now when i click on 'high', it download the link first and i have to click open for wmp to open and play the movie

please don't suggest a different browser or media player, since my subscription (TFC Now) only worked on ie7 and window media player - drm license

what's the format of the files your subscribing to?

click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Folder Options
choose the File Types tab
scroll down until you find the file format
I'm gonna use .wmv as an example
click WMV to highlight it
in the lower right of the dialog click the Advanced button
if you have a Restore button click that instead and then click Advanced
in the new dialog window make sure all the boxes at the bottom have NO check marks
click OK
click Apply
click OK

that should (hopefully!) do the trick.

Does the low-fi version opens in WMP?
