Hi Saif2007,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

We can’t influence the behavior of website. So you need to download the file and play it.

The reason for the IE record the link and history is that you have set to use IE to download the file by default. A workaround from me is that you can delete the IE history when you exit the application.

Here is some information about delete the history:
