haha sounds like a help desk call i get everyday day @ work ..... Vista is the ultimate  :censored: when it comes to auto playing .asx files.... easiest fix is right click the link go to properties highlight the url (ending in .asx) opening windows media player holding ALT + F, brining you to the "file" menu and select "open Url" and paste.... yes its a vista bug, yes it sucks  :censored: and yes that is the best fix/workaround
