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.
