File Download - Security Warning

[Brittany2]

I have a webpage that when you click on a link it opens an executable file.
However, you first get a prompt regarding a "File Download - Security Warning"
- Do you want to run or save this file? Is there some code I can use that
automatically tells it to run and not display this message? Also, once I click
"Run" it then gives a "Internet Explorer - Security Warning" - The publisher
could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software? Is there
some code I can use that automatically tells it to run and not display this
message?

Unless you're in a controlled environment (intranet) it's not a good ideea
to automaticaly execute the file (think about a page that positions your
mouse with javascript over a link and the same javascript activates the
link - would you want to have that file executed)? If you're on an intranet
then use an activeX control to download and execute the file automaticaly.

I am on the intranet. Do you have any specific coding on using the activeX
control?

I don't have an example, but the basic ideea would be:
- with javascript pass the URL of the executable to the activeX control;
- activex: download file, execute.
