    Flashy flashy...

    I have a whole load of .swf files that'd I'd like to run in Windows.

    The problem is, there are no programs associated with them.

    I've downloaded every possible flash media player but all appear to be for browsers, and so the only way I can view them are if I drag them into a browser.

    As you can imagine, this is rather exhaustive to have to do EVERYTIME I want to watch a video.

    The only way I could watch flash and shockwave videos is if I install Macromedia Flash MX, but this is WAY too much efforts as well as obviously being designed to make flash and shockwave videos.

    Anyone got any suggestions or ideas?

    Assign them to Internet Explorer or your browser if you prefer to use a non MS one such as firefox.

    Works for me as I've a few flash games I've got in the .swf formats
