WMI - How to suppress the "Run or Save" message w/HTA within ASP.Net

Hi - I've written an hta script (using vbscript) to detect if a user is accessing a website directly from their PC or via a remote connection. This HTA file is set as the startup page in an ASP.net (1.1) application. Its intention is to keep remote users from accessing the website. It works beautifully, except that everytime I go to the site it displays the ol' "Do you want to run or save this file?" message. If I click "Run", the hta runs fine and then I'm taken to the website (if I'm not connecting remotely). However, I want to suppress this "Run or Save" message. I've tried all sorts of setting changes in IE, but no joy. IE7 is the version we use, but the behavior is the same with 6. Does anyone know how to suppress this?

Thanks!

This has to do with MIME type handlers. Moved to OS forum.
