Fix for "IE blocked this site from downloading files to your computer?"

[redbrad0]

On our website, our employees have a custom program that is installed on all the systems that gets associated with a file extension. Then on our website, we have a javascript that sends the file to print which is automatically downloaded and then the file is handled and processed by our local installed application. The problem is that we are having to enable automatic file downloads which opens a security risk. Is there another way that we can handle this so we dont have to adjust their security zone settings?
