Question

I have a wordpress website which provides a download link to a word document. When user clicks on the download link in IE-9 a windows security pop up is shown to user. It works fine in all the other browsers.

I have done some search and found that it is due to some security settings in IE-9.
Is there any way I can overcome this setting because all the users will mostly have this security setting?

UPDATE This problem comes only if user selects open. If user selects save or save as option from the Save dialog it works fine.

This is the security pop up

Resolved this. The Internet explorer does not handle word files properly so I implemented a PHP script for explicitly downloading the files and it worked
