Allowing a web page to launch a file on the users computer would be a security risk, which is the reason for the prompt. Each browser may have a different way of handling this. In any event, if it is possible, it would require doing some custom configuring of the security settings within the browser.

You would have to embed an activeX control or java applet into your page, both of which will need the browser to accept the security risk.

At my last job we had written an activeX control that did it, but I don't know where you could find one on the net.
