When I right click on wave file, it plays automatically (Win2K). This is not a CD autoplay problem. This is annoying especially if the wave file is huge. How can I turn this off? Thanks!

I don't know if I understand exactly what is causing this but I was looking at some info in some tweaking applications and I believe you might be able to fix it by doing the following.

Click on a file so that it opens - I am assuming that you areusing Windows Media Player to play sounds but this may not be the case. Either way.

Hit Control+ALT+Delete and choose task manager
Go to the application tab
Right click on the Wav Player (Media player or whatever it is)
Select GO TO PROCESS
Right CLiCK
Select Set Priority
If it is on High or not on Normal then this needs to be set to normal.
Let me know if this works.
