Media Files That Are Played in the Internet Explorer Media Bar Are Not Added to the History Folder

This article was previously published under Q298751

SYMPTOMS

In Internet Explorer 6, if you browse the Internet and playback media files in the Media bar, the media files that you played are not added to the History folder.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, set Microsoft Windows Media Player as the default handler of Web-based media. Then, whenever you play media files, they are cached in the History folder.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
