Getting IE or Firefox to automatically open the file
-
I built a small little application that every time a certain extension is clicked on, this application opens the file. On my website when you click on certain links it returns this file extension and in IE & Firefox they both prompt me on what to do with the file. I would like them to not prompt me and just open the file in the default application that is assigned to that extension in windows. Can someone help me figure this out?

Then tell Windows what you want it to do with them.

I did. If I have a file on my desktop and I double click on it, it opens my application and displays the contents of the file. When IE locates this extension, then it asks me if I want to Open, Save or Cancel. I want it to always just open this type of file.

Then I don't know; it works for me.
