[HLUG] Videos - unable to view.

[Noel McG]

Hello,

I did not make plain the problem.  I have not burnt these files to a DVD as
I do not have a suitable writer.  So these files are currently on the
desktop and I would like to play them from there if at all possible.
Clicking on them has no effect, other than to bring up the 'associate with'
routine.

Thanks,

Noel.
