How can I prevent the downloading dialog from appearing

[scott]

when i click a reference to open a file, the
downloading dialog may appear, which asks whick choise I
prefer, opening the file at the current position or
downloading the file to the computer first. Now I need use
Internet Explorer to browse Microsoft Word file and
Microsoft PowerPoint file, How should I change the
Internet Explorer's setting to prevent the dialog
appearing? Thanks.

well, when the dialog comes up untick the box, i don't
know how to turn it on after unticking the box

To turn the box back on:
Open Windows Explorer and go to Tools | Folder Options | File Types.
Scroll down to the file type in question and select it.
Click Edit or Advanced, depending on your Windows version.
Check the box for "Confirm open after download".

Thanks your response. My main question is: How can I

change the setting through program language such as Visual
Basic? I guess that there is a registry item associated
with the setting, but I don't know the registry item.
Would anyone can teach me? Thanks.
