just drag and drop them in Internet explorer. Also install K-lite codec pack and then you will be play it in classic media player, which is a part of K-lite codec package, which again is free.

Or hit 'Ctrl + O' in IE (or whichever browser you prefer), select 'All Files' from the drop down menu and navihgate to the file. You must have Adobe Flash Player installed for that particular browser though.

You should go into Documents and Settings folder and choose your user ID folder... There, in Local Settings folder, you will find Temporary Internet files folder
