Hi!
I am working in an app that creates an HTML links. Those links to files that are stored in the local PC, they are audio files and video files.
What I noticed is that when I click on an MP3 file it will directly open it in the Win Media Player but if I click on an AVI file it will open the confirmation box asking what I want to do with the file, if I want to save it or if I want to open it.
What can I do to force the file to be opened without any confirmation??
Thank you!
 
Go to every users machine and configure their browser to behave in the way that you prefer.

Also if you can get the download without confirmation working, you might just want to load VNC on everyone's box so that you can change their system configuration at will.

There is no html thing I can add to overide this?
Tnx!
 
Would you like .EXE or .VBS delivered the same way? [pipe]

This html is dinamycally created by my vb.net application and it works with all local contents, if every file linked opens directly it would be great!
Tnx
