Keep your shockwave files on your hard drive

Do you have some shockwave files you love to watch.  Does it piss you off that you have a dial up and you have to download the file every damn time.  Fear not.  From the closet of cheap (see also free) tricks there is another way.  Start by empting out your Temporary Internet Folder.  Don't go to any other page just the one you want to save.  load and watch the shockwave file.  search your TIF for any .swf files.  Rename it and save it to another folder.  The first time you open it windows won't know how to open it.  Just open it with internet exploerer and provided you have the shockwave plug-in (if you don't how did you watch if the first time?) it should work.  I've done it on a few sites and it may not work all the time but I know it works on whatever I've throwed at it.  Let me know if ya'll have allready heard of this and I'll crawl back under my rock 'cause I didn't hear it where I've been hidin'.
