[GUI-Talk] Question On Win7 Basics

[Jen]

Hi Dave,

Regarding playing MP3's, the computer is acting the right way. To make the machine save MP3's...

1. When the computer is playing the MP3, press Alt and F to go to the file menu.
2. Press V to get the "Save as" dialogue box.

The "take no action" setting you were using in the Control Panel is for auto-playing of media which are not MP3's.

I hope this helps.

Jen

Subject: [GUI-Talk] Question On Win7 Basics

I am attempting to help a friend get his old Windows 7 box back in shape. When I try to download an mp3 file, the machine plays it, rather than saving to disk. I went into the control panel and set it to take no action when dealing with audio files and still no joy.  I know there is a setting buried in some long-forgotten menu that can fix this. Can someone refresh me on this?
