I'm trying to develop a small UI which is to be used to choose which facility to run. The user (effectively) clicks a button and runs an executable program.

When this happens, the browser detects that I am downloading an executable file and asks if I want to save or open it. Clearly I always want to open it.

This is obviously a security issue but I hope to be able to get round it since it's running locally on the intranet. In fact it's even running on the same machine as the web host (Aopache Win32).

Is it possible to set the system to allow what I want and if so, how?
