How to make a .wmv download instead of stream?

i want to point my friends to a video clip but want them to get the download window instead of streaming it in the browser. i read that you need to add this line to the .htaccess file to do it:

AddType application/octet-stream wmv

but im not sure how or where to put that line.

this is how my .htaccess file looks now

I don't use .htaccess handle things like forcing downloads by adding/manipulating the headers and response in server-side code:


If you're not using ASP.NET, surely PHP has a similar capability.
