Go to your web browser's settings and set it to not automatically open MPEG, AVI, WMV, and RM files -- tell it to pop up a download dialog or a Save File dialog instead. How to do this depends on what browser you have.

Because you asked about <i>web browsers.</i> Guess what's hiding behind that link?
(you really ought to try it, I hear it's a great browser)

It really does take all the funny out of it when you have to explain it...
