Hello,
I have a link to the online radio:
http://www.(....)/program1M.asx which used to start VLC player.
I prefer to use Windows Media Player so I changed the file association
(.asx) from VLC to WMP.
But now when I click on that link IE displays: "IE cannot display that
page).
If I put that link directly into WMP there is not a problem.
My question is:
What to create (or set up) to have that link starting WMP?
Thanks,
Claire

I am not developing anything.
I need a help how to set up IE (or Windows) for that link to start WMP.
It must be something very simple.
If VLC can be started by that link why not WMP?

Oh, it's not your web-page?

� Via your newsreader (i.e., Windows Live Mail):

No, it is not my website.
It is the IE shortcut on my desktop.
You do not know the answer?
I think it is something simple related how IE and Windows are set up.
