Module development and code questions

I installed audio module in drupal 4.7 and it works fine in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer the little flash player does not appear. Thus only giving the option to download the audio file. The site is at http://hhbc.crickster.com

I need to modify information in the user profile based on a cookie that is set when the user visits a certain page. I'd like to be able to do this like so:

Example:

if($_COOKIE['foo']) {
     $user->profile_foo=1;
     user_save($user);
}

Will this work? It's not clear to me from the documentation how to update user data outside of the standard user edit forms....

I'm attempting to adapt the views module for non-nodes. Is this something that should even be attempted? Has anyone tried this?

I started by commenting out calls to db_rewrite_sql and looking at the _views_query->query() method.

Any leads would be helpful.

Hello.
I am new in Drupal.

I appreciate it very much!

Now I use Xaraya but we are evaluating to migrate to Drupal.

I would like to know if there is a way to make external link on the main window of Drupal like as the Window Module on Xaraya.

I see http://drupal.org/node/40756 but I would like that the themes isn't the drupal theme on this frame but the style of the link.
Furthermore I want to navigate in the same main screen of that external link.

Could you help me?

Thanks.

Any ideas why?
