intranet web page doesn't auto launch .exe, .com, .chm files

[jvaughan]

I've got this intranet site which has links to chm
files. I'd like to be able to click on the link and have
the file auto launch. The problem is, it thinks I'm
downloading a file from the internet instead of the
intranet. I get prompted to "Open" the document after
I've clicked on the link. I don't want to "Open". I
want it to auto launch. Is there a security setting I
can turn off in order to allow only exe, com, chm files
to auto-launch from with in a browser?

Perhaps you could try the window.ShowHelp method, described in the
page below. This suppresses the Open or Save dialog box.
