[W126 Coupe] Way Cool Toy

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Richard:

Using Firefox (latest version) use Tools, Options, see and click tab for 
Downloads.  Set your target directory (make one up (ie My 
Documents/Downloads)) for 'Saved' files as the default is Windows/Temp 
for opening vs. saving over the web.

Under the Firefox Download Tab check the box to leave the download 
manager window open after the download completes to confirm you received 
the file successfully.  Also click on 'View & Edit Actions'.  This will 
tell you how Firefox will handle all of the different file types you 
download.  Look for what application it is set to use for 'wmf' files.  
If it's not media player change it.  That should do it.  I'll bet you 
got some other media player that has assumed control of your media files 
like Quicktime or something.  It'll all show up in the View & Edit 
Actions dialog box and it's easy to change.

For reference you are downloading: way_cool_toy.wmv which is just over 
3Mb in size.  The new tab or window that Firefox opens when the download 
commences is of no value in remedying the set-up issue you have so you 
can just close it at any time.

Dick
