So, if you know that safari shows the link as an mpg file, then add .mpg at the end of the downloaded file. It should then switch the icon to a Quicktime icon. This works for anything. For instance, if you download a jpeg, you can change the extension on it to say .txt and it will probably ask u if u really want to do that, which you say yes, then you will see that the icon will switch to a text edit doc. It will then try to open that file in Text Edit, but of course it is not a text file, so it will fail. So, with that said, the reverse should be true!</p></blockquote><p></p>
