File link wont open in IE, just FireFox

[hexOffender]

I'm running a single page on several machines that will just open video files. Im running them locally without web servers, and the video files are on a network share.

In IE 7, this code ("file:///T:/video.avi") will not open. the status bar at the bottom of the browser runs to the end very quickly, but the video does not open.

In Firefox, the same code will open a media player outside the browser and play as intended.

Anyone know how or why IE does this and how to Fix?
