VBS: Make IE7 "Run" An Exe Automatically Instead of Asking for "Run" or "Save".

    When downloading an executable in Internet Explorer 7 (it's a fixed system, they haven't updated in a long time...) using wShell.Open, the user is first prompted to run or save.

    If you know you'll ALWAYS be running IE7, and know that for this specific file you want to RUN, is there any way to tell IE7 to run instead of prompting the user?

    Note: Downloading to temp file is not acceptable, it must be directly run from IE7.

    Thanks in advance (Y)

    I'm afraid there's no way. You can't bypass the security of windows and IE.

    I am aware that you'd still get the windows run or cancel security prompt, but there is a setting to run automatically in IE7 settings, so couldn't you temporarly use this?
