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.

Shift+Right-click on file and select "Open with...". Select Internet Explorer from list, put a checkmark on "Always use this program to open this kind of file"

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

Enter into the Temporary Internet Folder then u go to the tools boutton click on it nd select folder options then u select view tab nd uncheck "Hide extentions for known file types". This help u to locate *.swf files.
