Disable Open or Save Prompt?

cyberphonics · 05-12-2008, 07:27 PM

It's happening in IE, but the solutions I've seen on the net all say it's a windows registry issue so I wasn't sure if I should post here or in the windows help forum. I tried to search these forums and came up with a "Fatal error yada yada yada".

How do you disable the prompt "Do you want to open or save this file?" I need to listen to a lot (dozens) of small audio clips (mp3) on the web and it would go a lot faster if that dialog box didn't come up every time I clicked the link to the mp3. I want it to just open the file when I click on it instead of asking what I want to do.

Thanks ahead of time for your help. I have a project to complete and having to click Open every single time is just slowing me down so much.

Try changing the file association in Tools-Folder Options-File Types. I have my MP3's set to "open with" with my media player.
