Well, personally, I hope this will never be possible... ;)

This means that you could trick your user in clicking a link, and then execute some program that trashes their hard disk, sends sensitive data by e-mail, etc.

The browser won't allow this; AFAIK, the only option you have is to select "Open from this Location" when you click the download link.

You may be able to do this with some ActiveX / VBScript in a Trusted Sites zone security zone of IE), but I am not sure about that....


Cheers,

Imar

Yes, I agree with Imar. What happens to a downloaded file is completely up to the client browser.
