Thanks Alan.

Correct, I'm trying to find a general solution that will work for end-user
types who don't know how to change browser settings. I figured that somebody
must have solved this problem before me. But thanks for the settings tip!!!

IE thinks it's being helpful.  IE will also prompt you if you tell it to but
IIRC you have to configure each extension and I find it extrodinarily
difficult to find the menu where one does this.  I believe it's on the file
types dialog.  But you seem to be seeking a general solution for the people
who access files you provide?  I don't think you can control this on their
browsers.  Or for yourself, just right click and chose the 'Save link' or
'Save target' option.
