This will bring up the right filename for you in IE and also let you
maintain state.
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;
filename=WHATEVER.XLS">
<cfcontent type="unknown" file="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WHATEVER.XLS"
deletefile="No">
I like your "add it onto the URL" workaround.
Good luck.
