So when you try to view images through a hotlink in your browser, it downloads the image instead of viewing it within the browser?

Have you tried reinstalling your browser? Or even trying different browsers?

This isn't a Windows problem, but a browser problem.
Windows doesn't choose which to download and which to load.
