    before i reinstalled my windows xp, i was able to save WMA files by just clicking them. but now when i click on the WMA file links, the windows media player just start to play the file!!! i can save the file by right-click and 'save target as' but i don't want to do that. anyone knows where i can change the settings such that it will not automatically play the file but download it?
    thanks.

    Open any folder, 'My Documents' for example. Then 'Tools' -> 'Folder Options' -> 'File Types'. Locate 'WMA' in 'Extensions' column and select it.
    Now you can see details for WMA extension and under 'Advanced' are actions for 'WMA'. There should be a bold 'Open' and others. Is there a check in front of 'Confirm open after download'?
