In a W2K environment when logged on to a 2000 Pro PC. Users access a web page from an IIS server and need to run a specific file(c:\file.vbs) located on their hard drive. I used <a href='C:\file.vbs'></a>. The problem is that the users get prompted to run or save the file. I don't want them to check the &quot;allways ask before opening this type of file&quot; for security reasons. Is there any other way to allow users to run a specific local file without getting prompted????

Thanks,
 
this is because your web server doesn't know the .vbs extension
you have to add this (vbs) to the mime types known by the server - or ask your isp to do so !
