asp_web_howto thread: open CHM file

Not sure if this would be the right list for this question...
I've got a CHM file which provides the help for my application, which is
currently opened with an ordinary link. The problem is that when this link
is clicked, a prompt appears asking the user if they want to open the file
or save it. Is there a way to make it just open without getting the dialog?

Go around to the user's computer, and uncheck the box that says "always ask
this question when opening this type of file"
Or, if they have unpatched versions of IE, I think you could get around this
by using the same technique as various viruses (changing the content type to
something that IE trusts)
Cheers

IE should trust a CHM file! its almost the same thing... I guess people
could conceal viruses in them easily enough though.
