How to disable or remove the "Open" option [file download window ]

[Jay_se]

How do I disable or remove the "Open" option in the file download window in my aspx page? Can somebody please help? Thanks! I have been used the below code in my page.... That's why, there is no file in my Cache. Response.Cache.SetExpires(DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(-1)); Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache); Response.Cache.SetNoStore();

Jey

You might not have that much control over the File Download dialog box as it is fully controlled by the web browser. To trigger the dialog, I guess, you should be using Content-Disposition with the full file name like (filename.xls) [including the extension right]. You can tweak the headers and try sending the MimeType which is that of EXE. Normally, for Security reasons, Internet Explorer disables 'Open' for EXE and also the 'Checkbox' right? But this might not be a complete solution neither a cross-browser compatible one.
