haha sounds like a help desk call i get everyday day @ work ..... Vista is the ultimate

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

and yes that is the best fix/workaround
