I cannot play streaming audio files (.asx/.asf) with WMP10 in IE6 with
WinXP Pro sp2.

When doubleclicking a link to a streaming audio file eg
"http://www.rthk.org.hk/asx/rthk/news/summary/20051211/20051211_23.asx"
WMP10 dose not start to play instead a dialog with Save/Cancel comes up.
After saving the file to the HD WMP10 opens and plays the file when i
doublclick the saved file. This happens to both .asx/.asf filetypes.
Actually WMP10 is associated with the filetype .asx/.asf in the registry.

I want to play these streaming audio files without downloading and
saving to my HD, please help, thank you!!
