HTML Link Opening .AVI file??

384 256MB
I have a webpage, when a user clicks on the link:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <a href="file:///D:\Test.avi">Test</a>
The video opens with VLC which is set as the default player, the problem is that when a user clicks on the link it pops up a box saying open with vlc or save and the save option is selected by default and the remember my choice is grayed out, can anyone tell me a different way to get an avi play when clicked on in a webpage?

You must tell the browser which application is associated with that file type. In Firefox, it's under Edit->Preferences and find the tab for applications.
