I'm listening to mp3s that are listed on a Flash site (joinvanguard.com game
site) and when I clicked any mp3, instead of opening directly in WMP10 and
playing, they open into another IE6 browser and the browser sits there doing
nothing. No evident loading even.

I can bypass this by clicking Cancel and C/V'ing the URL into WMP10 but I
know that can be avoided. I've seen WMP10 automatically open and play the
mp3s on that Flash site before so I just need to know how do set that.

I've tried turning on and off the Options/Media setting in IE6 for "playing
sounds in the browser" and also "Default player for Filetypes (mp3s)" in
WMP10 but nothing seems to work.

? This should have been removed in current versions of IE... you should
update your IE if possible.
