I agree, but I would think the warning should explain how--just like you explained it. I didn't know windows media files could do that until I read it here.
I can't rememember for sure, but I thought I had an MPEG try to pull up a website when I played it. I don't know if that's possible (a standard feature of MPEG) or maybe a special feature of whatever player I used--it was long ago and I can't remember. Just thought I'd ask in case anybody else knows for sure.
