IE7 unknown file type error

I have found 2 sites that when I try to navigate to IE7 asks "Do you want to
save this file or find a program online to open it?"

Name: index.xml
type: Unknown file type
From: www.worldofwarcraft.com


I get a similar error @ www.tupperware.com. This site only asks the
question when I try and login to my account and the file is
"thp.ccm$xml_global.p_show"

any ideas other than going back to XP and IE6 or Firefox.
I am using Vista Ultimate

Re: IE7 unknown file type error

..xml (eXtensible Markup Language) files are not meant to be opened by
themselves. If you open an .xml file you will see code, which is used to
generate other things (e.g., web pages.)
