Redirect mp3/mp4 File Downloads to W7 Downloads Folder

[RetiredEngineer]

Just posted you a $5 donation.

I'm a VLC newbie, and run Windows 7x64 with MS Outlook 2010 and IE9. I want to bypass VLC media player when downloading some mp3/mp4 files, so that they are downloaded to my Downloads folder, and not to my "Temporary Internet Files" folder, where I cannot access them. I have been looking for a "switch" or "setting" of some sort in "VLC Media Player v2.0.2 Twoflower" which will temporarily *disable* automatic direction of the mp3/mp4 files to VLC MP. So far, I have not found one, and searching your website for "redirect download" produced no answer addressing this problem.

Is my only recourse to: a) temporarily uninstall VLC MP; or b) un-associate mp3/mp4 files from VLC MP in \Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations\ ?

You mean, when using IE?

[RetiredEngineer]

Yes, I use IE for everything.

However, if this task is impossible with IE, a reference to some other browser which will do this would be appreciated.

Well, over a week and no decent reply to my download redirection question.

Maybe I should consider making my $5.00 contributions *after* a reasonable answer occurs.

Reinstall VLC without the activex plugin, or deactivate it in IE preferences.
