Hi,
Whenever I try to open an application or server side program using IE (5.0) , a file download window pops up saying
You have chosen to download a file and
"Would you like to save this file or Open it from current location?"
If i select Open from current location option
it works fine.
Can anyone tell me how to avoid this window
and open my application directly.

FYI : I am working on HTML applications and
this file download window pops up everytime before opening each and every application(hta) for security reason.can i avoid it?

Thank You

han

For all practical purposes this is "unavoidable" and for security reasons should remain that way.

Exactly what TNO says, an HTA is less restrictive with it's security then HTM(L) pages. So if IE would let an HTA behave like an HTM(L) page, the risk will be that there could be code programmed in the HTA that could destroy your PC (think in terms of the ILOVEYOU virus)

Quote from MSDN: "As fully trusted applications, HTAs carry out actions that Internet Explorer would never permit in a Web page"

Please read this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/hta/overview/htaoverview.asp

Especially the Chapter called: The Power of Trust: HTAs and Security
