Downloading from LSM.ORG , a. ' *.cfm' file; when it starts downloading, it generates an error saying - "cannot play the selected track". I assume that this means that downloading process implicitly starts a 'PLAY' of the audio file, thus eliciting the above error.

How (WHERE) do I change this setting?
