Using a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, one can turn off animations, videos, and sound from automatically loading on web pages, and disable Active X content. The link at Microsoft help explains the process in detail.

It is best to use standard video and audio formats that do not require special codecs. The file is played on the remote computers, it is what uses the player, not the site...If I go to a site that has to use a special codec, I won't open or allow the file, it could be a worm or just corrupt, best not to allow just anything to get installed on your computer as that leeds to lag, takes space and can corrupt or change your computer settings.

I don't think you can do it. Windows stores the association of file types (based on extensions) with applications. If your file is sometime audio and sometime video, Windows will probably not understand it and hence can not differentiate.

You might have a corrupted plug-in. First I would recommend installing the new IE7 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie afterwards install the new Windows Media Player 11 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia . That should fix all your problems. If you continue to have problems message me and I can help you further. I deal with these kind of issues all day for our 30+ employees.

Thats a browser issue. The only way the person on the client side can avoid that from happening is to go into TOOLS, Internet Options, and then Security. Under the security tab, in CUSTOM LEVEL, there are options in there to download and give script warnings about Active X being present on a website. This can only be done on the client side. I do not think there is a special HTML tag that will prevent this from happening.\nAnd when it comes to play .Wav files, it depends on the client side too. It will open with the default software that the user has set his computer to use to play .wav files.

u don't have plugins for video in the browser so install/download that from microsoft or other website

Only a .wav file can be used unless you use some third party program.\n\nTo change the setting, goto your control panel, then 'sounds'.

You can save the file by right clicking the URL that link to the mpeg video and select Save Target As.\n\nOr if you want to disable a video from playing directly in your browser, just select the menu bar(For IE):\n\nTools...Internet Options...\n\nA popup window will appear and select "Advance" tab. Scroll through a number of settings until you find "Play videos in the browser" under multimedia and deselect it.

Check your settings on your browser. Go to Tools.. Internet Options.. Advanced.. and look under Multimedia... see if "play sounds in web pages" is checked.

Sure, there are several approaches.  I haven't seen those sites, but if they can play right inside your browser, that's great.  Open the site in a new tab (window for you IE crew), start the radio going, then open your favourite MP3 player (iTunes, WinAmp) and start playing the music you want.\n\nYou might have some troubles with sound balance; it might be hard to adjust the browser sound output levels, so adjust your master volume, then get the music at the right level in your audio program.\n\nIf you want music from the web too, open the radio station in iTunes or similar, or a new tab in Firefox (which you should have).  I'm not sure how to sort out volume differences between tabs, but you might be able to adjust it from the webpage itself.\n\nHope this is of help.....

Internet explorer has very limited options concerning this. IE7 is supposedly going to incorporate some of these features, but there is no guarantee. Stick with FireFox and you'll be much, much happier.\n\nIf you still must use IE for some sites, check out some of the FireFox extentions that address this

Try downloading Y! Music Engine (which allows you to play launchcast w/o your browser).  Also, if I remember correctly, lauchcast does not play nicely with anything but Internet Explorer.

Avoid realplayer - it's spyware.  \nBeaten into second place in pcworld.com's \nThe 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time \nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20060526/tc_pcworld/125772\n\nTry media player classic (link below) - it even plays .rm files

I happens to me also. It means that that website uses different codecs that the ones you have on your media player. Go to microsoft.com and look around for free downloadable updates for windows media player
