Stream IE Videos instead of download?

Everytime i use to left mouse 'click' or 'open in new window' on a video file it use to stream it... however i downloaded Real One PLayer to watch a rm file...after that because i didnt real want Real One Player i uninstalled it (because i prefer WIdows Media Viewer Player)....now everytime i want to watch a short clip or video by streaming it saves into Temp folder and i have to wait for the whole file to download instead of buffer...streaming....


Does anyone know how to adjust is it Insternet Explorer? or Windows Media Viewer so when i click on a clip of some sort it streams it in the player, instead of an download box appear and wait for the whole download to occur to temp folder before i can watch....

Thanks al suggestions welcomeed....should be an easy one for most IT wiz kids but i aint too great at comps to be honest! ty

-This response is a little late (3 years) but I'm sure it will come in handy as it will happen to anyone who downloads new software that automatically assigns that software as the default player for certain file extensions. Go into windows media viewer and select tools, ,options, file types, you'll see that .rm is not an option. My version 9 won't read .rm files. However if you try to open one of the files media player DOES support it may still download intead of stream if you don't have the filetype checked in that same area I just sent you to as using media player as the default player. I just had that problem and checking the box fixes it.
