There's a WIMP on
the block, but it's a real bully. The Windows Media Player isn't perfect, but
you can stop it from playing files before giving you the option to 'Save as.'
Open the Windows Explorer, click 'View,' then 'Folder Options,' select the 'File
Types' tab, find the media file you'd like to have not play automatically, select
it and click the 'Edit' button. Place a checkmark in the 'Confirm open after
download' box.
