clicking on an MP3 file requires confirmation (how to disable?)

A bit further research with Google and....
Windows Explorer / View / Folder Options / File Types / MP3 / Advanced
/ Confirm open after download = False

This change will not be limited to local MP3 files but will apply to
remote ones as well.

Hope this solves the problem for you.

That worked. Thanks.

Hey, I really appreciate your help -- I was totally convinced this
behavior was coming from Excel since running an MP3 file
directly was NOT requiring the confirmation but apparently
Excel is treating is as a "download" so that kicked in the
(new?) shell protection.

Has that "Advanced" button been there (on the File types) always? very
long?

I don't recall seeing it before.
