IE plays movies in it how do I stop it from doing this.
I am running win 2000 with IE 6 it plays mpeg,avi and mov
files off the net in the browser instead of opening up media player.
how can I change this?

Well ,if i'm getting what you mean the movies are not downloadable ,there are live stream from the site you are on!
IE is not a media player,it uses media player plugins , so this must be what you mean.

Internet options/advanced there is an option for IE tp play video from the net. Uncheck that & see if media player is then chosen.
Also, the movie that you are selecting may not be in media player format.

How about right clicking on what you want & download it that way?

gimme one of the site you want to watch
ok lets try this again.
I installed quicktime and than after the install, all mepg avi mov wmv all open in IE instead of media player like it did before.
http://home.in.tum.de/~paula/mpeg/
this is an example, all these mpegs open in IE.
all I want is to be able to have them open in media player or quicktime player.
they used to do that, now they open in IE, after I installed quicktime.
